”Country Club” comments prompted Cassidy to ”tighten up” VGK

Remember those comments by Max Pacioretty when he was traded from VGK to Carolina, you know the ones where he claimed it was a "country club" environment in Las Vegas and the team lack accountability? Well those comments resonated with Bruce Cassidy, as he told Boston Hockey Now this week. He said as a result, a few things were tightened up on the ice. He said he held the team accountable and held the team to "a standard away from the puck." Cassidy talked about a range of topics in the interview from a meeting with Jack Eichel in which he said they would win or lose together to the goalie situation to his day with the Cup. We also covered the NHL Rookie Face-off coming back to Las Vegas for the first time since 2018. Games will feature six teams, including VGK, scheduled for September 15-18 at both City National and The Dollar Loan Center. We also track where the Stanley Cup has been this week.
