Jon Cooper is good coach. He’s been blessed with a great core in Tampa but he still steered and pushed em to the finish line, more than once. You gotta tip your cap

[@wilseph1]

And that is the impressive bit. To consistently get such a talented group for years perform at such an elite level is the challenge.

[@Madisonrvr]

Guys- this was awesome! Listening to Coop, it’s no surprise he’s had so much success. What a likable guy. Great job boys, keep em coming.

[@mariosvorinic5032]

One of my favorite quotes that someone told me is “Only one way to coast.. down hill”. I suspect that’s what Cooper and Keenan are getting to. If you’re not progressing, you are falling behind.

[@user-ze6ho7pb7y]

Great interview 👍 👍

[@therawknucklespodcast]

Thanks for listening

[@user-md3ij9oc9q]

For a hockey guy, the best compliments you can get is from other hockey guys.

[@yotoober1]

Great job by everybody! AS a follower of the 4 major sports, there's nothing more exciting than playoff hockey out of all the playoffs of all 4 major sports. I would also say however, that playoff home advantage in all 4 major sports less in hockey than the other 3 sports. In NHL home ice advantage seeds get upset quite a bit of the time, or at least much more than in other sports, especially for any one playoff game, a visiting team winning is no surprise even if the team with home ice advantage goes on to win the series, they may win their away games and lose some of their home games in the best of 7.

[@user-md3ij9oc9q]

Ouch!! Knuckles threw Timmy under the bus!!

[@filterlessbear9250]

Fuck having to speak French, this guy should be the coach of the Habs one day!

[@gordwarren6406]

RIP Chris

[@DTrent-uy1wl]

Chris, you also look good in the Bruins jersey. Why don’t you ever hang up a Nilan Bruins jersey?

[@HunterMagunter]

Hes a hab at heart

[@therawknucklespodcast]

I have a Bruins jersey up and a rangers theres only 1 wall behind me! Haha

[@DTrent-uy1wl]

I must be blind

[@jamesp2333]

What I've been saying for a long time that big, mean and some skills (all that blended), are the teams that win. Not like the ScHABS and their soft, little, purse carrying players.

[@user-ni6gm9sj8u]

Shocking. He has never won coach of the year

[@Edwardo485]

And to think the Toronto Maple Leafs put out the Bolts⚡️ In the semi-finals 4 -2 June 2023 🫡

[@Edwardo485]

Actually the Toronto Maple eliminated the Tampa Bay Lightning On April 29, 2023 in Tampa, Florida.
