Expressing his dissatisfaction with his team's performance, he boldly compared it to a beer league game, a critique not commonly heard at the NHL level. He criticized the lack of defensive structure and principles, highlighting the careless and disrespectful plays on the ice.
Following the 6-5 overtime loss in Newark, Cassidy didn't mince words:
VGK's Bruce Cassidy didn't hold back after the game in Newark, a 6-5 OT loss.
"We basically played a beer league game."
"We thought it was preseason, I guess."
"Careless, disrespectful to the game."
"We have a veteran 'D' corps and they were not good tonight as a group."� Dan Rosen (@drosennhl) January 23, 2024
Despite managing to recover from a 3-1 deficit, the Golden Knights squandered a 5-3 lead, ultimately falling in overtime. Now, dealing with injuries and defensive challenges, they are set to face a revitalized New York Islanders team on Tuesday, led by their new coach, Patrick Roy.
