Jon Cooper gives his team ultimatum: only be at game 4 if you believe
Jon Cooper, highly respected for leading the Tampa Bay Lightning to two Stanley Cup victories, faces a tough challenge as his team trails 0-3 against the Florida Panthers.
Despite having key players like Andrei Vasilevskiy and Nikita Kucherov, the Lightning haven't been able to find their rhythm in this series.
After last night's game, Cooper delivered a straightforward message to his players, If they don't believe they can turn things around, they shouldn't bother showing up to the rink at all.
"If you're not gonna believe, you don't have to come, so let's see how many guys show up tomorrow"
