Maurice and Cassidy have a lot of experience.
The cheerfulness of Paul Maurice at the beginning of the Stanley Cup final was also dyed with sorrow. He knows there are at most 7 more matches until the end of the postseason.
Bruce Cassidy also had similar emotions as he leads the Vegas Golden Knights now, but 3 years ago, he was 1 win away from winning the cup with Boston Bruins.
One of the veterans will triumph with the ultimate trophy in the NHL for the 1st time in his career, and it shows that the franchises that want to go deep in the playoffs have to rely on experienced managers.
The #StanleyCup Final saga continues. 😮💨
