Vegas Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy was highly critical of his team's performance following a disappointing 6-5 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils, describing the play as 'careless' and 'disrespectful to the game.' Cassidy likened the team's play to a 'beer league game' and suggested they played as if it was 'preseason.' Despite having a veteran defensive corps, Cassidy noted their collective performance was subpar. The loss was particularly stinging as the Golden Knights had squandered a two-goal lead in the second period, missing an opportunity to secure a road win.
FINAL — Sharks 3, #NYR 2 (OT) After blowing a two-goal lead against the last-place Sharks, Rangers go 1-2-1 on this west-coast trip.
SHARKS WIN 🦈 Tomas Hertl buries the @Energizer OT winner and erases a 2-0 third-period deficit! https://t.co/mffrAci0zn
Brutal loss for the #NYR. The Sharks were on a back-to-back, but they couldn’t hold onto a 2-0 third period lead. They lose 3-2 in overtime to get one point — but not two. New York finishes the road trip 1-2-1.
