There's no question touted Lightning rookie Jonathan Drouin would love to have played more in this postseason.
He's watched most of it from the press box, having played in just four games, the rest as a healthy scratch.
But Drouin, 20, denied Wednesday that there's a rift between him and coach Jon Cooper, claiming their relationship is good. A Toronto Sun story last week described how Cooper normally "avoids talking to or making eye contact with Drouin," and that the coach "seemingly has no faith or belief in" the No. 3 overall pick from 2013.
