Canadian head coach Jon Cooper would boast the lions once again.

Canadian head coach Jon Cooper The 4 day before the US Finals, the 4th Nations at the press conference was answered by the question of whether something in the tournament has surprised him and what he sees the tournament shaped.

– The tournament has shown how passionate players are first to play this game and secondly to play for their own country. And I’m not just talking about teams in the finals, Cooper said.

– Finland and Sweden were excellent. It was seen on the ice. Look at Finland. Our game against them was 4-1 at the end. They could have stopped playing and say that they would take a couple of days of vacation. They did anything but it. I think it’s a great sign of respect. This means this country.

Before the tournament, some wondered if the tournament will be played in half -lights as in the NHL constellation.

– Everyone who imagined so was fiercely wrong. This is the star players, but these are not star games, Cooper said.

The US and Canada meet in 4 Nations finals on the night before Friday.
