“The Bruins made short work of the Islanders. They got an early goal and just never stopped from there.”
That line at the final buzzer from MSG’s Butch Goring succinctly tells the tale of an embarrassing 5-0 Islanders loss to the Boston Bruins at Nassau Coliseum, where the home team only managed 13 shots on goal in 60 minutes of theoretical play.
It also underlines the alarm after a weekend split in which they lost in regulation to the bottom feeding Red Wings (despite playing well) and got by with an overtime win over the playoff chasing Wild (despite playing pretty poorly).
