Head coach Peter Laviolette had a different demeanor earlier today, compared to Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders, when he was visibly upset while characterizing hits from Noah Dobson and Adam Pelech as "vicious" and accusing the Islanders defensemen of intentionally playing dirty.
Also, if their is still a little bit of animosity over how the game ended Tuesday, they have a chance Saturday to really damage the Islanders chances of making the playoffs.
