NHL Coach:Turns Down $150Million Dollars Deal Offer Due to….
Jon Cooper, the head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning, apologized at the beginning of his season-ending news conference on Wednesday for using what he described as an improper analogy of putting skirts on goalies.
Cooper blasted two dubious goalie interference decisions that helped Florida win 6-1 on Monday night following the Game 5 loss that eliminated his team from the playoffs.
The NHL situation room determined that a player had interfered with Sergei Bobrovsky on both of the Lightning’s goals, which were disallowed.
As a fan of women’s hockey and the father of two athletically active girls, the league’s longest-tenured coach expressed his heartfelt apologies.
In his 11 seasons as head coach, Tampa Bay has advanced to the playoffs ten times and won the Stanley Cup consecutively in 2020 and 2021.
Steven Stamkos has played for the Lightning for all 16 of his NHL seasons, and he would really like to stay with them.
