Cassidy Calls Out Rask And Young Players After Lightning Loss.

"[Rask] has been better. I think he'd be the first to tell you that," said Bruce Cassidy. "The first two goals were from distance. The second might have been through traffic, but the first one can't go in."

"I thought a lot of our young guys got an education on what it takes. I'm not putting this on them, but I'm just saying the experience they gained tonight understanding the urgency level will be very good for them in the long run," said Cassidy.

"We had some 'B' & 'C' games tonight. We really did . . . and not enough 'A' games to beat a hungry team in that type of battle.

You saw the game.

There were some guys that needed to be better and they weren't.

It is what it is. They were harder than us. Give them full credit."
