“I had tears of joy when we [les Golden Knights] won on Tuesday, but cried with sadness when I lost in the Finals with the Bruins in 2019 […]. I think this victory will stay in my memory longer than the loss in Boston,” Cassidy said at a press conference.

He also stressed that he wanted to take advantage of the present moment, because many changes can occur in the world of hockey.

“You have to take advantage of these moments and be ready to go to work on October 1st. We can’t see what will happen in the future and the health of the players will determine whether we will succeed or fail in the future.”
