“Turn the page and move on.” That’s how Coach Cooper put it to the media following the Lighting’s 5-3 loss to the Washington Capitals on Thursday night. You’re probably not shocked to learn that he’s used that phrase before following a loss. In fact he’s probably used it after every playoff loss during his tenure.

Not dwelling on losses along with his other common belief of “don’t get too high after wins or too low after losses,” have been the pillars of his philosophy when dealing with the rough stretches the Lightning have been through.
