After a successful road trip in the Sunshine State, the Islanders were back in Brooklyn monday night for a date with the Colorado Avalanche. Tonight, started what’s likely the biggest week of the season so far. A convincing 5-3 win sets the stage for a nationally televised showdown Wednesday night with the Rangers. Below are the best hits from social media, enjoy.
I feel like there’s at least one of these tweets every game.
I will never get a group of douchebags wearing ranger jerseys here rather than being at msg where "their team" is playing #isles

This is pure gold. But in reality, you could make up a story of any Islanders power play.

Remember when this team couldn’t win face-offs?
#Isles dominated the faceoff circle in 1st period winning 13-of-18. Tavares went 6-1 while Cizikas was 3-1. Comeau lost all 5 FOs for #Avs

He did score against the Avs last year to, coincidence? I think not.

This is too typical, yet too hilarious.
I kid you not, #isles D gives the puck away and someone yelled "you suck Bailey!" He wasn't even on the ice.
