    4 Nations Face-Off: Canada's Jon Cooper Showed Why He Is The Best Coach In The World

    At the 4 Nations Face-Off, the role of a coach is to have a 'feel' for his team and make adjustments. Cooper did a masterful job of that against Finland, says Ken Campbell.

    If you can believe it, Canada's 4 Nations Face-Off coach, Jon Cooper, has never won a Jack Adams Award as the best coach in the NHL. 

    In fact, he's only been a finalist twice in the 11 full seasons he's been behind an NHL bench. And he likely won't win the award this year, either.

    But that does not mean he isn't among the best in the business, because he is. If the Tampa Bay Lightning ever decided to part ways with him, or he with them, there would be a conga line of NHL GMs showing up in Brinks trucks to have him coach their teams.

    Cooper's coaching acumen was on full display Monday afternoon as Team Canada faced a must-win game against Finland in the 4 Nations Face-Off. After a crushing defeat to USA Saturday night, Cooper kept a steady and poised hand at the tiller and made the adjustments he needed to to change his team's fortunes. 

    He made some crucial line changes that changed the way Canada played and brought out the best in the stars on the roster.

    Here's more in today's video column:
