Nonetheless, props to Jollymania for uppin the vid. EDIT: How often does Stamkos go out of his way to make a hit? Edited March 15, 2010 by titanium2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What the Bruins should do instead is play their most physical game of the year. Contest every loose puck. Take Sidney Crosby down every chance they get. He, not Cooke, is the Penguins' heart and soul. Make him bleed for the sins of his teammate. Take him into the boards. Knock him down every chance you get. Bounce a puck off his nose if you can. If you get a blind side shot at him, put your body through his chest. Yay for vigilante justice! :clap: Edited March 18, 2010 by mjlegend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted March 18, 2010 An eye for an eye, as it were. Makes sense. Normally I don't believe in that but I'd make an exception for Cooke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shoreline Report post Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) Oh don't ya know - he's a xenophobic fossil who knows nothing about the game I don't agree with everything he said but I really can't argue it either. The countless video reels of Cooke doing knee and head shots really speaks for itself as far as he goes in terms of being a gutless and cheapshot-artist player.

Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) The fight was meh. I'd rather see Cooke rocked..not concussion like but "man, that hurt like hell" barely getting up to get back to the bench hit. Edited March 19, 2010 by Hockeymom1960 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest micah Report post Posted March 19, 2010 I never thought I'd type these words, but props to Cooke. I loathe the guy and he does a lot of dumb s*** - but in this particular instance he did the right thing. Find the other team's toughguy early and fight him straight up, get it out of the way. Had Cooke gone after May instead of fighting non-fighter Cooke, Bert might not have broke his neck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorkingOvertime 536 Report post Posted March 19, 2010 I'm glad that Cooke obliged Thornton, but I wonder why he didn't ditch the lid when Thornton asked. It's good to see players policing themselves this way, as I believe this is a situation where fighting could have prevented an injury (from a dirty hit).

Guest micah Report post Posted March 19, 2010 Wasn't Cooke wearing a visor for that fight? I didn't notice. If he was, he should have ditched it. Nonetheless, going after Thornton early was the right thing to do. Failing to fight a toughguy or turtling would have put his teamates at risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P. Marlowe 748 Report post Posted March 19, 2010 Geez, the unwritten rules of hockey. Another example: 50 years ago if you wore a helmet you were ***, but it's okay nowadays. Nowadays if you wear a neck protector you're ***. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
