instant answer all is forgiven and forgotten in past.... we all want to win.... i am ok NOT winning cup and keeping cooper if said happens.... my questions are did he lose the team like boucher had? (last night says absolutely NOT).... since this and few games is all we have as barings i even throw out last year cause of vasy not being healthy being biggest reason no cup I can overlook that and a bad few games..... or couple games.... my questions were did lose team.... that to me was answered.... next question he is still learning.... is he capable of trying out new things power play cirelli pass said yep.... next big question is he smart enough to let the team play to its strength going down 2-1 in toronto did he panic no he let them play and we simply outplayed a GOOD toronto team that a lot of you feel obviously is not too good.... I disagree 100% this toronto team is different on the flip side paper wise we are also with a fourth line and a fully healthy palat? We are hugely different then last year.... I will also say i liked the refs this game.... which helps us if they call games as they should... I want cooper to not fall back into bad decisions a bad palat last year who shoulda been benched a broken wrist tyjo in chicago series again benched.... hard decisions but i also want cooper to make choices do tricks like bringing in cirelli and letting this team play to its strengths..... if he does this even if we dont win cup i for one will be happy with this team... cups are hard is no guarantee the team i saw yesterday played and looked like best team ive seen in a long time in hockey many years even... this is what i expected with the additions we added... this is what i expect of this team... then again like last year basically we are the only team that can beat us except god's will if we have health i feel we will win the cup.... not 100% on cooper its on everyone.... they got to step up and fight for ever puck and be engaged.... this is hard during an 82 game season i dont expect this every night.... yet after last night id happily face anyone in 7 games for the cup they got things to work on always but the fire was there they were hungry and angry.... i still think toronto is much better adding some pieces and barrie is a huge git they will not go down easily is other teams gonna give us trouble... i am not worried on so called trap only worried on health if we had vasy healthy team woulda been more confident and i think we woulda gotten cup last year feel same now.... team isnt lost just wasnt mad and engaged fully... again long season gonna have games that show this...Lets say that he does, he beats a good team trapping to high hell, team goes deep, and wins the cup.

I agree. The team steeped up and played a skill game. Thats nice and all but Toronto let Tampa have the neutral zone all to themselves. The real test comes when a team clogs it up and takes it away, like what happens to us in the playoffs. The team trys to be too cute and skate/pass their way through which results in a turnover. Then the next time they have possession they dump it in because they're too tired and go for a change with maybe one fore checker who can't get the puck. Rinse repeat. At least in the playoffs.He wins Cup, *I* will forgive him for UB#1 - #6... but less than Cup, he has to go
Last night was simply Point running on 100% adrenaline and had nothing to do with Cooper's coaching ability, or lack thereof

I think we're at a point where the odd statement game, like against Toronto, is as much a mark against Cooper as it is for him. Because it's a reminder of the kind of talent we're working with, and how we should have had more success than this.
Hey Cooper
