How do you approach preparation tactically after the first two games?
Cooper: It is a playoff series. It is the first to win four. Tactically, I am pretty sure both coaching staffs know what they are doing. The players know what to expect.
In this series, special teams have been the story. It has been well-documented when you have 48 hours between games to pick it all apart. They’re saying, “We can’t put Tampa on the power play.” We are sitting there saying, “We can’t put Toronto on the power play.”
Discipline does come into play.
