The 5 Hole: Stunned in Sunrise

Another game, another playoff rematch for this struggling Islanders club. This time they took on the team they beat for their first playoff series win in 23 years, the Florida Panthers. These two teams put on a highly entertaining series, and it seems every time they play, it’s always a fun affair. Looking for their first road win of the season, the Isles fell 3-2 in overtime. They now head back to Brooklyn Monday to finish the season series with the Lightning. The best from social media can be seen here:

my hopes for this game:
-a win
-trocheck to be tripped again#isles

Did I pass? Does a bear shit in the woods? #Isles #IslesonMSG

I almost forgot that Reilly Smith nearly murdered my soul in April…almost. #Isles

Good job by Lee getting to the net. Bought Nelson some time. #Isles

— Brian Compton (@BComptonNHL) November 13, 2016

Brock Nelson meaningful goal – more of that please! #Isles

Nelson now just 1g shy of tying Parenteau. #Isles

— Gillies Goring (@FortNeverlose) November 13, 2016

The #Isles are drawing penalties, I repeat this is not a drill

— Rob Taub (@RTaub_) November 13, 2016

A power play goal?? From the islanders?????? #Isles

— ⭐️ Stefanie ⭐️ (@stefeeneys) November 13, 2016

Somebody scored!!!!#isles

So far, so good. #Isles

— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) November 13, 2016

This is taking too long for two players that didn't make any contact #Isles

— IslesBlog (@IslesBlog) November 13, 2016

Power play goal for #isles. They're now a whole 2% more efficient! pic.twitter.com/4BKnpJchM8

Someone clearly still angry over the result last spring #Isles pic.twitter.com/55v1Bc6P6i

How many gals wish Tavares would dance with them like this? #Isles pic.twitter.com/RGfCTfYEGU

— IslesBlog (@IslesBlog) November 13, 2016

Lol this is a circus #isles

— Michael Schuerlein (@islesblogger) November 13, 2016

OK, #Isles catch a break on the goal called off, but CAN YOU CLEAR THE PUCK? It’s comedy.

— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) November 13, 2016

this all stems from a joke of a call against nelson. this is bizarre. #isles

— Harry F (@Harry4naris) November 13, 2016

This officiating job is a disgrace. The game should be protested. Two calls in 2 minutes that completely screw the Isles

— Rob Del Muro (@gmen8069) November 13, 2016

No goal. Again. Lol #Isles

— Eyes on Isles (@eyesonislesFS) November 13, 2016

This game is going to get UGLY. #isles

— Michael Schuerlein (@islesblogger) November 13, 2016

Sources claim Bernie Sanders called Toronto and wouldn't stand for corruption any longer. No goal, goal, no goal. Still 2-0 #isles

— Andy Graziano (@AndyGraz_SNY) November 13, 2016

TAVARES WAS TRIPPED YOU GUYS!!! #isles pic.twitter.com/S1Y1tA97rF

— YeSUV (@IslesWhiteSUV) November 13, 2016

Meanwhile, Halak has been terrific. Left out on an Island. #Isles

— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) November 13, 2016

Need to survive this period #isles

— RobF (@bobbybows) November 13, 2016

These are the kind of games the #Isles need from 41.

— Brian Compton (@BComptonNHL) November 13, 2016

Josh Bailey just Josh Baileyed the SHIT out of that opportunity #isles

— El Guapo (@ReverendBobby) November 13, 2016

If Capuano challenged election results in Florida, we may have a different president-elect. #isles

— Sean Cuthbert (@seanyhockey) November 13, 2016

Leddy now credited with 2nd #Isles goal, not Nelson

— Arthur Staple (@StapeNewsday) November 13, 2016

You didn't this would be a stress free Saturday Night, did you? #Isles

— IslesBlog (@IslesBlog) November 13, 2016

Buckle up. Classic #isles third period coming in hot.

— Jon Cav (@JonCav) November 13, 2016

His face! Did something happen to his face??!!

— Dan Saraceni (@cultureoflosing) November 13, 2016

Tavares has been excellent tonight #isles

— Patrick (@Scudpat) November 13, 2016

I'd be content with #Isles just killing off their own PP and then pray the last 50 seconds.

— IslesBlog (@IslesBlog) November 13, 2016

Of course it's tied #isles

— Adam Malmut (@AMalmut) November 13, 2016

Yep, so typical of the #isles

— T (@Riz2525) November 13, 2016

Focus Jaro, Focus!! #isles
