Jon Cooper on matching up against Mitch Marner: “He’s one of the best players in the league… He’s so creative with the puck, elusive, and really, really smart… We can’t be chasing him around the rink”

  3. Aaaand here he goes…. Let’s see how many other of our players he pumps up before the series starts!

  4. Ah, the Ted Lasso compliment sandwich has begun. Cooper starts the series with praise, then says a whole bunch of shitty things during the series, and then after the series is done, goes back to praise.

  5. At the end of the series, Coop will say that he got respect from Keefe in the handshake line.

  10. I love this guy. I’m sorry. I love the gamesmanship, the baloney, the pure trash. More of this across the NHL please!

  12. Jon Cooper is one of the best coaches in the league. He’s so creative with his media game, elusive and really really smart… We can’t be falling for his bullshit at this time of year.

  15. I see he’s starting with his overly complimentary bullshit early this year.

  16. He’s great until the playoffs. He still has a lot to prove in the post season and I hope this is the year he does it.

  18. “We can’t be chasing him around the rink.. so we’ll crosscheck the crap outta him”

  19. Jon Cooper after the Leafs win game 1:
    “Marner was really irrelevant to the outcome of this game. Low intensity all around. In fact, all the Leafs were irrelevant tonight.”

  20. “Solution: hold, hook, slash, cross check as needed since they won’t be called against us anyway”

    – Jon Cooper, *probably*
