Transcript: Jon Cooper on the struggles of last season, “I think we really grew as a group”

In a recent interview with Fox Sports Florida, Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper discusses the 2018 NHL All-Star Game coming to Tampa, his stint behind the bench for Team Canada at the IIHF World Championships, the Lightning’s performance last season, and the importance of learning from all of these experiences.

We have transcribed this interview for accessibility.

Quick Note: For the sake of clarity and fluency, I have omitted extraneous uses of the phrases, “and,” “but,” and “you know.”

Rick Peckham: Coop, a huge day here talking about All-Star 2018.
