IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
It’s been three nights since the Isles had a golden opportunity to go up 2-1 in their best of seven series with the Lightning, and tonight was a must win for the team knowing they could be backs against the wall Sunday afternoon down in Tampa. The entire team was rested and the time for watching the tape over and over again, talking about missed chance over and over again was done. In another exceptional affair, the Isles once again fell in overtime, this time 2-1. They are now down 3-1 and are on the brink of elimination with game five looming Sunday afternoon. Social media recap of tonight’s game is below.
Can sense a little nervous energy in Barclays. #Isles need to have a strong start, make sure building is rocking
