Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy fined for calling out officials

The Islanders stunned the Bruins in Boston on Monday night, taking Game 5 of the series 5-4. The Isles were 3-for-4 on the power play — scoring on their first three advantages — and after the game Boston coach Bruce Cassidy was not pleased with the officiating.

The referees for Game 5 were Francis Charron and Francois St. Laurent. And, frankly, Cassidy was pissed. And did not mince words.

“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 told reporters after Game 5.
