NHL Team's Coach Hails Potential Olympic Gold Medalist: Goaltender Logan Thompson's Impressive Stats Have Him in the Running for Starting Role. Vegas Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy has high praise for his team's goaltender Logan Thompson, expressing confidence in the young player's ability to lead the team to a gold medal at the Olympics.
