BOSTON BRUINS POSTGAME QUOTES BOSTON BRUINS VS PHILADELPHIA FLYERS Thursday, September 21, 2017 BOSTON BRUINS HEAD COACH BRUCE CASSIDY On the slashing/faceoff penalties… I thought the faceoffs were better tonight. I think the guys are getting used to it and starting to abide by the initiative that the league wants to have cleaner draws. The slashing, I think it’s another good rule to be honest with you, to find that happy medium. There’s a lot of hand injuries now and I think its something they needed to curb. I think eventually players will learn that as well like they adjust to all the rules. On if all the special teams makes it difficult to evaluate players… It gets difficult, if that’s what you’re getting at. Some guys get lost in the shuffle. I think [Zach] Senyshyn is a good example tonight. He’s not on the kill. Second unit that went out a little late, and now you don’t have a center because our second unit is [Danton] Heinen and [Kenny] Agostino. Maybe you throw [Riley] Nash out there to make sure you’re covered. At the end of the day, just off the top of my head, I know he’s a guy that we would have liked to see more of. So yes, it does – and now you’re using your best players a lot in penalty kill situations that you don’t want, necessarily, to get injuries that way. And every team goes through it, you got to balance it. On the team’s defensive depth… I don’t want to be disrespectful to the D-corps, but I think it is deeper up front.
