Tampa Bay handed the Maple Leafs its sixth consecutive first round exit, and head coach Jon Cooper decided to bring it up in the best way.
According to Luke Fox of Sportsnet, Cooper went out of his way when asked about forward Nick Paul:
Paul, 27, was acquired by the Lightning at last season's Trade Deadline. He then scored both of Tampa's goals in a 2-1 win in game seven.
