In a recent interview, John Cooper had some sly comments about the Leafs Lightning series last year and whether or not he thought that the Leafs deserved to win the series.
John Cooper Thinks the Wrong Team Won Last Years Series Between Lightning and Leafs
In an interview, John Cooper opened up about playing the Leafs two playoff series in a row. He says that in both series, the wrong team won and advanced.
Cooper is notorious for not holding back in the media, and playing mind games with his comments. There's a chance he is doing this again in trying to change the narrative around the Lightning and their odds at making another Cup run this year.

What was also surprising from the interview is Cooper's view on the Leafs and their potential to win in the playoffs. Whether or not he was just indirectly complimenting his Lightning, he did have some nice things to say about the Leafs.
They took a huge step winning in the first round and they beat a team that beat them the year before and went to the Stanley Cup Final three years in a row. That to me is a step forward.»
Leafs fans do get anxious about the Leafs' performance come the post-season. However, this isn't without due cause, as last season was the first in many years they had an inkling of success. Let's hope they can build off of that experience this year.
