This guy may never learn. This hit is ridiculous and i can only imagine the 3 or 4 game suspension he's going to get? Should be 10+ for this repeat clown!

If that's not bad enough, look at the knee he throws at OV two nights earlier! Watch right at the 1:00 mark if you wanna see the best angle in slo mo!

This guy abuses his right to play the game IMO!

Good video. I hear what people are saying about rule changes and such but I think that is saying that this is a league-wide problem. I don't think it is. I think it is a Matt Cooke problem and the quickest way to fix it would be for teams to stop offering him contracts.
It is so strange to me that teams are interested in what he has to offer. I don't know how GMs can possibly think that his good qualities (if he has any,) outweigh the bad. |

I am speaking in general to posters who have, in the past, posited that there is a code of conduct in the NHL, and that we need to keep goons/fighters/tough guys in there to self dicipline and keep order. Not in this thread, no - in other threads. I do think it is pertinent to this incident, however.
According to these people, getting rid of the instigator would solve everything.
I refer to them as "clowns", because I regard their position as comical - like a clown is comical.
Clear enough now?

Yes, it's rhetorical.

It is a dirty hit as I said, and looking back it does look more like a knee, but not a full out effort to get an elbow, not a knee

dc, have another look at the 1:00 mark! To me, cooke leaves his leg out there in a blatant attempt to clip OV's leg. That's enough for me to say it's an attempted shot at his knee! |

I hate Cooke, these are such dirty hits, just look on the youtube page, video after video: Cooke hits Savard, Cooke hits Markov, Cooke hits Tyutin, Cooke hits Cole. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! On the Tyutin hit he leaves his feet, and the Ovechkin knee, which I didn't think was that bad, dirty, but not as bad it looks like Cooke isn't really trying to knee him, IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS TRYING TO ELBOW HIM! He should get a big suspension for this, at least 15 games.

Hey T-Rav, maybe check out the forum rules. Specifically the one that says
MAKE YOUR POSTS WORTHWHILE - Instead of typing 'I Agree', 'Yup' or adding a few emoticons, post a thoughtful and reasoned response. Please bring value to your post/reply by adding something new to the conversation. Support your thoughts with further information, facts, perspective. If your thought does not ADD VALUE then please do not post it. We are having discussions, not chats. THINK QUALITY! Ask yourself, "Does my post add value?".

Now, I completely agree that the NHL needs to do something more than what they are doin, but where is the NHLPA in this??? Do they not see that the predatory players like Cooke are a bad thing for their group?? Why aren't they doing something about this?? Other Unions do not allow their 'brothers' to negatively influence the group.
It comes down to respect. Players like Cooke doesn't have any respect for is fellow players and it's guys like that who make the entire NHL look bad. |

It's so simple start handing out 20 game suspensions for hits like this and throw them around like they re detentions on the school yard,, i don't know what cooke makes but say he makes 1.5 million a year ,, thats 18 293 per games so he gets 20 games for this he loses 365860$ money talks,... these guys don't want to lose 400 g's!!

Agree. I've always liked the grinders and the guys who play play on both sides of the rulebook but Cooke's constant emphasis on injuring people instead of antagonizing them or knocking them through the boards is getting very, very old. |

What a colostomy bag he is. I've never liked Cooke, and he is clearly dirty and dangerous, plays with a complete disregard for safety.
I think the NHL should suspend him indefinitely. They use the word expel in school, would it be the same in hockey?
I would group this braid-dead arsehole with Marty McSorely.
KICK HIM OUT!!
I was thinking about making a thread about this the other day, but got side tracked.
Thank you Alex.
