The Islanders and Penguins will face off in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In advance of the matchup, the teams took turns throwing shade at one another on Twitter.

The Isles took umbrage with the incorrect terminology above:

Although, it's hard for us to keep track of where you guys are playing these days...
