Lightning coach Jon Cooper apologizes after recent comments

After a disappointing game five loss, Lightning coach Jon Cooper made some insensitive remarks, and now he's officially walked it back.

The Tampa Bay Lightning were incredibly disappointing in their five game loss to the Florida Panthers, and coach Jon Cooper was unsurprisingly frustrated, with his comments after the game going viral.





Cooper was called out all over social media for his misogynistic comments, especially in wake of the ever-growing popularity of the PWHL and the ongoing support of women's hockey. After thinking it over, Cooper was understandably upset and remorseful over the comments he made, as he came out on Wednesday and officially apologized.



Cooper was unsurprisingly vilified, but he clearly owned up to his mistake on Wednesday, and given that we've never heard anything like this before from him, it's safe to say that he's genuine with these comments and will hopefully move forward from this in a positive manner.
