Bruins GM Don Sweeney calls out the NHL after game 4
Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney took no exception following game 4 and called out Gary Bettman and the NHL.
In a surprising media session before heading to Florida, Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney redirected all officiating inquiries to the league.
Less than a day after a contentious goal by Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett and subsequent game-winner by Panthers captain Sasha Barkov, Sweeney deferred to the NHL regarding questions about Bennett's actions.
You want full access and transparency? Then put the officials in front of the microphone to answer the question. They're the only ones that have the experience to be able to handle whatever interpretation they applied to Rule 69.»
Sweeney emphasized that post-game inquiries about officiating should be directed to officials or supervisors, focusing instead on what the team could improve to secure victories.
Regarding a new angle showing Bennett hitting Bruins captain Brad Marchand, causing him to miss a game, Sweeney called for the Department of Player Safety to weigh in and protect players based on their interpretations of such incidents.
