Vegas Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy understands that his team won’t get the bounces every night. But when he rewatches the 3-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, he probably won’t be too thrilled about the results.
“I know when I watch it, I’m going to be pissed that those are points we should have had,” Cassidy said. “We’re a better team than that, and they’re gone.”
In his estimation, the Golden Knights took advantage of their chances in the first. The team played well for most of the second before, for whatever reason, playing less than optimal in the third.
“I don’t think it was complacency,” Cassidy said. “We needed to push harder in the end in the third. I thought it took us a long time, and our best chances were at the end when the goalie was off. We should have responded better after they scored, and had a better push.”
