Last week, Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper was interviewed by Darren Dreger on Dreger Café, a recurring segment about the IIHF World Championships. In the interview, Cooper discusses his experience with Hockey Canada, his strong relationship with USA Hockey, and the unique insight that comes with coaching some of Canada's best players.
Quick Note: For the sake of clarity and fluency, I have omitted extraneous uses of the phrases, “and,” “so,” “but,” “you know,” and “I mean.”
Darren Dreger: All right, Jon. I should apologize. The Dreger Cafe in Paris, France should be a little more spectacular than what this might be.
