Bruce Cassidy calls out Alex Pietrangelo after he costs them a loss
Last night the Vegas Golden Knights fell to the Dallas Stars and head coach Bruce Cassidy called out star defenseman Alex Pietrangelo after the matchup.
In a pivotal game five matchup with the series tied up at two a piece, the Vegas Golden Knights fell to the Dallas Stars by a score of 3-2. In the post-game presser Bruce Cassidy, the Golden Knights head coach, called out Alex Pietrangelo for taking a senseless penalty.
"Veteran guy should know better,"
"There's controlled aggression out there all over the ice in every series. ... There's a little bit of a learning curve that goes into it. We should know better, but it happens. ... Margins are too thin."
"We have to take care of our discipline. We just have to. It's that simple."
Here is the penalty in question:
Clearly, the Golden Knights are lucky this was not a five-minute major but they still paid the price as Jason Robertson scored on the ensuing power play putting the Stars up 3-2 in the game and eventually, the series.
Jason Robertson wastes no time sniping one home on the power play, 3-2 Stars!
The Vegas Golden Knights now must win two games in a row if they want to keep their dream of back-to-back Stanley Cups alive.
