IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
After probably their best win of the season last night, the New York Islanders were riding high as they headed in to Carolina this afternoon for the second of a home-and-home with the Hurricanes. New York was looking for the sweep of the back-to-back and looking to make it four in a row for the first time this season, and wins in ten out of their last 14 games. Jaro Halak got the start in goal, while Cal Clutterbuck sat out his second straight game with an illness.
The Isles didn’t have things go their way, as they fell 4-2. They now get a few days off before hosting the surprising Philadelphia Flyers Wednesday night. Top hits from social media can be found below:

This is the "We just beat the best team in the NHL" hangover #Isles

If I didn't know better is thought the #Isles are playing the hurricanes.
Oh, wait…

Nick Leddy – oh my #isles

Nick Leddy is an elite defenseman. #Isles

Chimera robbed by Ward. Guy is getting a ton of opportunities lately, but all fans see is that "0" under the "G" column. #isles

First two goals hard to blame Halak… that one, I'm at a loss for what he was doing. #isles

Very messy period. Things that have hurt #Isles this season on full display. But, one goal and they are right back in this.

What’s typical is this: #Isles come off great win, but then have one bad period and the lunatic fringe, and you know who you are, go bananas. How is that healthy? Seriously? They are a point out of first place, LOL. #Isles

How'd #isles not score there?

RIDICULOUS sequence #Isles pic.twitter.com/scR2dRhV8G

So basically, we need to combine Ho-Sang's puck behavior with Barzal's. #isles

Halak has allowed three or more goals in nine of his 10 starts. #Isles

If the Bills can blame Tyrod Taylor because their defense sucked…. I blame Tyrod Taylor for the #isles shitty powerplay today

Watching Bill Christian (#Isles Brock Nelson’s gpa) talk w/ @Shannon_Hogan abt the 1960 US hockey team that won Olympic gold & then his emotions when he spoke about his son, Dave, winning the gold as a member of the Miracle on Ice team on @MSGNetworks just now…fantastic. ??

Sometimes you just tip your cap. Ward has been awesome. #isles
