"Cassidy stated, 'Yeah, you know, you grind for 74 games, and you want to be there at the end, right? That's the payoff, right? Playing for the Cup, getting your name on the Cup again.' He expressed excitement for the players but disappointment over not finishing the job."
"'Well, I would have liked to see it through,' Cassidy said. 'We'd won once before, so we knew what it looked like to win. We were a first- or second-place team most of the year. I felt we would have got in.'"
The Vegas Golden Knights fired head coach Bruce Cassidy with eight games left in the regular season after a loss to the Washington Capitals. John Tortorella was appointed as the new head coach, leading the team to a 7-0-1 finish and a tied playoff series. Cassidy expressed disappointment over his dismissal, noting the team's standards and his desire to finish the job. He had a successful tenure, including a Stanley Cup championship in 2023, but the team atmosphere was described as 'stale' before his departure.
