Bruce Cassidy takes a very unnecessary shot at the Arizona Coyotes during post-game comments
The Vegas Golden Knights and the Dallas Stars faced off in game 5 of the western conference final last night in a game that could've seen the Knights move into the Stanley Cup final. The Stars had other plans, however, and forced a game 6.
Bruce Cassidy, head coach of the Knights, was very unhappy with his team's performance, and he let his team know by taking a very unnecessary shot at the Arizona Coyotes;
Bruce Cassidy- We have 24 giveaways. I'm not sure you're beating the Arizona Coyotes in January with 24 giveaways.
That's no disrespect to Arizona, but it's not the right way to play.
Arizona has been the laughing stock of the league for some time now, but this is totally uncalled for. Your team lost a game in the conference final and you find a way to make it about Arizona? That's just not right.
On top of that, usually If someone says no disrespect, there's disrespect implied. 24 giveaways is a lot in any given game and I get the frustration, but taking a shot at an organization and more importantly a fan base in peril is not the way to do it.
