Jon Cooper Pokes at Leafs' Fans in Post-Game Comments
For the eleventh time, the Leafs couldn't grab the opportunity to eliminate their opponent. The pressure is simply too great, and they flinch every time.
Winning against the Tampa Bay Lightning when their goaltender, Andrei Vasilevskiy, is in the zone isn't easy. Even if it looked like they found a way to beat him, the Russian proved that he can bounce back.
After the Bolts' 3-2 win, Jon Cooper made a statement that raised many Leafs fans' eyebrows.
Jon Cooper Pokes at Leafs Fans in Post-Game Comments
It's not so much about what he said, but more about how he said it. He seems extremely confident that the series will come back to Toronto for a seventh game.
"Let's be honest. This game is so damn fun. You have two teams going at it. There are so many storylines. There are stars here.
Seriously, wouldn't you guys be pissed off if this ended tonight? Let's all be back here for Game 7."
He knows that Leafs fans only want one thing: to pass the first round.
By saying this, he sends a clear message to the Leafs that they won't win Game 6 in Tampa Bay so easily.
The Leafs have proven that they can beat the Bolts. Now, they have to prove that they can finish the job.
