A journalist asked Jon Cooper a disrespectful question and he was simply shocked
The games between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Toronto Maple Leafs for the first round of the playoffs are not at all disappointing, as the game is intense and exciting.
After the incidents that occurred during the last game, there was an unusual situation during the press conference, where Lightning head coach Jon Cooper was confronted with a particularly absurd question, which elicited a reaction that speaks volumes.
It is worth recalling that during the third game of the series, Brayden Point was injured after a violent collision with the boards early in the third period, following a contact with Morgan Rielly. Point showed signs of pain, but surprised everyone by returning to the game.
After the game, during the press conference, a journalist asked Cooper an insulting question, suggesting that Point's injury was an attempt to manipulate the referees.
Cooper was faced with a completely inappropriate question, as the journalist suggested that Point's pain was just an attempt to manipulate the referees. This is unacceptable, given that Point clearly suffered and that the contact with the boards could have caused a serious injury. Cooper was clearly astonished and incredulous in the face of such an accusation.
