IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
The Islanders continued their Western Canada swing last night in a place that hasn’t been to kind to them the past couple of season, Vancouver. These two clubs met late in January with the Canucks crawling out of Barclays Center with a 2-1 shootout win. The Islanders dominated the game from start to finish, and looked to repeat that showing last night, and the game they played was not what anyone expected. An ugly 3-2 win has the Isles running to Winnipeg. Here’s tonight’s social media recap.
Half awake, battling a cold. I do it for you guys. I do it for you. #LateNightIsles

If Matt Martin is playing for a contract, he's doing a pretty damn good job. Been excellent this trip. #isles

How hot is @zeeker11 — just got an assist without being on the ice. (He changed and Nielsen was on when goal was scored) #isles #NHL

#Isles and VAN tied 1-1 after 1. Eight total shots on goal, attempts were 13-11 VAN. In a word: yuck.

The hockey gods are sitting back watching this #Isles game saying, "Watch us make these analytics folks crazy for the next 60 minutes."

I don't really get how the #isles are winning but ok

Corsi that 2nd period: #Canucks 23, #isles 14. Canucks are 24th in the NHL in corsi. Just dreadful.
