A 3-0 lead in games and one skate in the Stanley Cup Finals… but Vegas Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy isn’t taking any wins for granted.
– The players have learned from experience that you shouldn’t look too far ahead. They’ve been there and they’ve done that… when it didn’t work, you have to look back and think about what we could have done differently. We have to live in the moment, we talk about that a lot in the team, Cassidy said before Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.
– We have a group of veterans in the team and you have to learn from the past and players like “Marchy” (the forward and key player Jonathan Marchessault) has done so anyway. I hear the chatter in the locker room and after the games… well, everyone lives in the moment, Bruce Cassidy said.
Game 4 in the finals of the Western Conference, which can thus take Vegas to the Stanley Cup finals, will be played in Dallas on the night of Friday, tip-off at 02:00.
That the Golden Knights’ players have the opinion that they should live in the present and not look too far ahead, is confirmed by the team captain Mark Stone. In Game 3, Stone, 31, was cross-checked hard by Dallas Jamie Benn who received a match penalty – where Vegas could basically decide the game.
– There are plenty of leaders in the team, players who have won before and who we trust to lead the team and give advice and support… and everyone knows that anything can happen in a playoff series. It’s about not having too high mountains and too deep valleys in the game. We’ve had a few days, but our goalkeeper has stepped up. We have never let anything go to our heads. We’ve just kept playing and controlling what we can control, Stone said.
