Coach Bruce Cassidy blasted the officiating after the Boston Bruins\' Game 5 loss on Monday night, theorizing that the New York Islanders have fooled the referees into believing they\'re a squeaky-clean team.
\"This is my take on it: We\'re playing a team that has a very well-respected management and coaching staff. But I think they sell a narrative over there that it\'s more like the New York Saints, not the New York Islanders,\" Cassidy said following the Bruins\' 5-4 defeat that gave the Islanders a 3-2 lead in the second-round playoff series. \"They play hard and they play the right way, but I feel we\'re the same way. And the exact calls that get called on us do not get called on them, and I don\'t know why.\"
