That description comes when you look up the definition of a train wreck. The same description could be found when describing the Boston Bruins at the present moment.
The New York Islanders beat down the Bruins, 4-1 tonight at the TD Garden to continue the trains path off the track.
Tonight, it was offensive Juggernaut, Matt Moulson who netted two goals to sink the Bruins. Also, number one overall draft pick John Tavares scored an ugly goal.
Early in the third period, with the Islanders holding a 2-1 lead, Dennis Wideman turned the puck over by the Boston cage. The play was all too familiar to Bruins fans, as the turnover by Wideman lead to the Isles third goal, and the final nail in the coffin.
The ugly goals have been piling up as of late for Boston. The overtime winner in Pittsburgh on Saturday night was mirrored yet again tonight.
This time Tuukka Rask played the role of Tim Thomas and gave the puck to the Islanders who were quickly able to get the puck to the slot and into the back of the net.
The Bruins played quite the ugly game, and will be worked like dogs over the next couple of days in practice to make up for their lackluster effort.
The only Bruin who seems to show consistent passion is Shawn Thornton, and even he looks like he is getting frustrated.
The Bruins will go on the road for a four game road trip before the Thanksgiving holiday. The trip could be the return for both Milan Lucic and Marc Savard.
Lucic is expected to return either Thursday in Atlanta or Saturday in Buffalo. Savard may make a return to the team by the trips end, next Wednesday in Minnesota.
The return of the duo can not come soon enough, as the train has already derailed, and isn't that far from exploding.
