Is Jon Cooper our weakest link?

[Marshall42]

My latest fear is that Coop will get out coached in the Playoffs!......Teams that play us "Heavy" and trap us in the neutral zone always cause us problems. Coop can not adjust . Teams that have done this to us very effectively have caused many turnovers, shut down PP entry, created odd man rushes against us.

Changing line personal is not game situational adjustments. Pure skill and speed will get nulified come playoff time.........that was proven last year and I don't see much difference this year.

The Lightning have elite forwards, great d, outstanding goalie, and a better than average coach.

I've been critical of Cooper forms couple years now, I'm glad other people are starting to realize.

There's a reason Cooper doesn't have a contract next year.

Damn we had the opportunity to get the record for quickest to 50 wins and coming off of 10 game winning streak most in franchise history but lets bitch about our HC. I get it though, he has to get it done this year. Lets just cross that bridge if we have to. Right now isnt the time. Odd timing if anything.

Dude is a moron all he does is chew gum smh.

I agree but lets give cooper a shot this year if no cup i'd move on to coach Q but I don't think the lightning will get rid of cooper. but yes cooper is our weak link.

yes agree lets see if he can get it done in june

 

[These Are The Days]

Can someone please explain to me how this particular group of players is supposed to thrive against DPE hockey? Specific explanations with what they're gonna do and who is gonna do it please.

I would LOVE to hear how this is going to amount to coaching failure as opposed to the one possible weakness of our roster construction that we've seen since Detroit and Babcock.


Hint: this has ALWAYS been a problem

If we don't make or win the the cup; he will probably be fired.

won't need to be fired he has no contract next season yet so you sign him next you or you don't. We are the best in the east if we don't make the finals I think he should go so we shall see.

Serious question if cooper doesn’t win the cup and gets replaced who would everyone want?! Got to think that cooper would be in serious demand if he did.

Cooper would be hired about two minutes after he was fired.

I want Joel Quenneville!!. but now with Guy Boucher being fired would Julien Brisbois want him? if he can't get Quenneville. Brisebois might want boucher with the french connection. If we fired cooper plan A i'd want Quenneville plan B i'd want Todd Richards

Been there with Boucher. Dont think we would go there. Honestly this talk is way premature. Lets talk about this if we get booted from the playoffs again.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Jets will trade Paul Maurice for Cooper

I would not go with Boucher but i just wonder if Brisbois would with the french connection ? I'd go Quenneville or Todd Richards

 

[T REX]

Give me the Q!

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

If we get booted from the playoffs AND Cooper is not re-signed, I'd go down a different path.

[ccman68]

From what I’ve heard Cooper is going to be re-signed no matter what happens. We are stuck with him for a while.

I think most have agreed for several seasons that Coop is our Achilles heel.
