TAMPA BAY — Jon Cooper was late for his post-morning skate meeting with the media Tuesday. Apologetic, he promised to make it up to those waiting on him.

“Baby Duck for everyone,” the Tampa Bay head coach said to laughter from the assembled scribes. Spoken like a true Canadian, not to mention someone who’s enjoying life these days. And who can blame him?

The Lightning hit 50 wins in just 66 games and are on pace for a one of the greatest regular-seasons in history, putting up absurd numbers most teams can only dream of.
