The Lightning coach was asked the most insulting question of his career
We have a whole series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Tampa Bay Lightning. A top-of-the-line duel and it's impossible to predict who will win in the end.
One thing is for sure, the emotion is at its peak, as much for the players and the coaching staff as for the journalists, who are always looking to scratch a little further.
In connection with Brayden Point's injury during game number three, Jon Cooper was asked a rather insulting question. Recall that Point went hard into the boards early in the third period and left momentarily and then returned to the game.
The reporter asked Cooper if this was an attempt to manipulate the referees...
The guy went into the boards at full speed, writhing in pain, and someone saw fit to ask if it was manipulation. Morgan Rielly was cleared of any penalties and that was the right call in my opinion, but still, it was a play that could have been very dangerous with the force of the impact.
