The Edmonton Oilers are coming off a solid performance, edging out the Tampa Bay Lightning by a score of 2-1.
While the media is praising the Oilers for their strong 60-minute performance, Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper has a different perspective.
Jon Cooper admits both teams played a bad game
»That was a bad hockey game, actually, probably by both teams,» Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. «There was a lot of talent on the ice, and I don't think either team kind of had it.
It's just made worse that we didn't get points out of it. We pushed in the third period and had our looks. We did. And they just didn't go in. But I think we held the Edmonton Oilers to 43 shot attempts, not shots, shot attempts. You think, OK, you're kind of doing the right thing.»

«It was one of those nights where, when you play 82 of these, you've got to find a way to sneak some points out of them when you just don't have it. And for most nights we've had it, but tonight we didn't.
I don't know if they had it either, that's what just kind of makes it sting a bit because we were there, there were some points for the taking. We just couldn't grasp it.»

According to Jon Cooper, he believes neither team really had control of the game.
Although he feels that there was a lot of elite talent on the ice, Jon Cooper admits to the sloppy nature of the game.
Personally, I think Jon Cooper is harbouring some resentment towards how the game ended.
The Edmonton Oilers played a better game, and give credit where credit is due.
