Lightning coach Jon Cooper still REFUSES to give Maple Leafs credit for game 1 victory
After the Tampa Bay Lightning were humiliated by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the opening game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Bolts head coach Jon Cooper refused to give the Leafs any credit for the victory.
Jon Cooper saying what you'd expect him to say, «I have the utmost confidence in our group». It's only G1 - LEAFS full value for the G1 victory but this series is far from over. 2X Stanley Cup Champions respond well to adversity and resets. #TLPFBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/JvoupYs6cF— TLPF Hockey🇨🇦 (@TLPF_Hockey) May 3, 2022
Jon Cooper doubled down on his comments today and said:
Lightning let the leafs "off the hook" in Game 1 "It was an easy night for them."
Look for the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions to come out flying tonight against the Leafs.

One stat that has been thrown around recently too is Vasilevskiy's stats after a loss. In the last 2 years, he is 14-0 with 5 shutouts and a .966 save percentage after a loss. Not good news for the Maple Leafs.
