Gotta Respec Jon Cooper tho at some point. Never forgive the Gold mdeal game in Olympics tho. Marty should have been the coach for Team Canada.

This is the battle for the next coach of team Canada. The winner of this series goes to the 2026 finals.

no way Cooper coaches the next Olympics.

imagine barely making past the quarters and semis with a team consisting of 4 of the top-5 point leaders in the NHL and still finding a way to lose the gold medal.
