Sal LoCascio had a message for the Bruins on Tuesday morning: "Hey, Coach Cassidy, it sounds like you’re having nightmares about Cal Clutterbuck and Matt Martin!"
Then he laughed.
It had been an interesting 12 hours for LoCascio. First, he thoroughly enjoyed watching the Islanders defeat Bruce Cassidy’s Bruins, 5-4, on Monday night in Game 5 of the teams’ second-round playoff series.
Then he awoke to his phone "blowing up" with messages about Cassidy having referred to the Islanders as "the New York Saints" after the game, accusing them of creating a false narrative that they play cleanly and are above reproach.
