After Game 5 against the New York Islanders, Boston Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said the teams were treated differently despite playing similar styles

Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy gives instructions during the third period of a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, in Pittsburgh, on April 25, 2021.The NHL fined Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy $25,000 on Tuesday for his criticism of the officials after Game 5 of Boston’s second-round playoff series against the New York Islanders.

The Islanders scored three power-play goals on four chances in a 5-4 victory on Monday night while being called for two penalties themselves. After the game, Cassidy commended the officials but said the teams were treated differently despite playing similar styles. “I think they sell a narrative over there that it’s more like the New York Saints, not the New York Islanders,” he said. “The calls, the exact calls that are getting called on us do not get called on them – and I don’t know why.Asked about Cassidy’s comments, New York coach Barry Trotz noted that his team was one of the least penalized in the regular season. The Bruins had the most minor penalties called on them this year, and the Islanders were 29th in the 31-team league.

Also Tuesday, the league fined Bruins forward Nick Ritchie the maximum of $5,000 for elbowing Islanders defenceman Scott Mayfield in the first period of Game 5.Follow topics and authors relevant to your reading interests.feed daily, and never miss an article.

I doubt he cares too much! As an aside…the games I’ve watched, the Bruins get away with too much compared to other teams! BUT…I still think Marchand is one of the most underrated players in hockey!
