Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 This guy has already ruined Marc Savard's career, he's throwing these types of hits on a weekly basis. The league won't throw him out. Hell, they won't even suspend him. So someone's gonna have to force him out. This is just sad that a total scumbag is allowed to run around and do this kind of s***. He hides behind the refs and that visor whenever he is challenged. He's got ZERO respect for other players. What's it gonna take? How you can justify these antics? None of his teammates have spoken out on it, and I don't know how someone can ignore this kind of stuff. I don't care if he's on your team or not. This stuff doesn't belong in the game. It's a damn shame that players like Matt Cooke do nothing but take out knees and throw hits from behind, and never have to fight their battles. He's got Eric Godard and Mike Rupp to fight his battles. Rant over, for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 Wow, not surprised there was another so soon. Stolen from HF: Oh. My God... This has to stop. Sorry, did he get any sort of punishment for this? Who can we write to or appeal to, this guy has got to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 In the (almost) words of Don Cherry, Cooke is "a gutless, backstabbing little f*ck." 2 wingnut40 and Drake_Marcus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 I'm sure the league will review it. Whether he gets suspended or not, we will find out soon. This is a chance for the NHL to set an example without worrying about having to do something bold like punish a star player. Can't wait to see how Campbell screws it up. In the (almost) words of Don Cherry, Cooke is "a gutless, backstabbing little f*ck." Cherry won't stand for punks messing with his Bruins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't wait to see how Campbell screws it up. Cherry won't stand for punks messing with his Bruins. It's like he said - this absolutely sets a standard for the rest of the League. When a punk like Cooke earns the title of cheapshot artist on an almost nightly basis with no discipline from the League brass, what's to stop someone else from doing the same thing?

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 Wow... looks like the suspension (if any) will be no more than 5 games: Both hearings will be held over the phone, meaning any suspension would amount to five games or less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, the hit doesn't warrant more than a 1 or 2 game suspension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 To be fair, the hit doesn't warrant more than a 1 or 2 game suspension. Yet we're told time and time again that being a repeat offender warrents extra time added to the suspension. Cooke's not only a repeat offender he's had two highly discussed dirty hits in the last frigging week. The hockey world is buzzing about this douchebag and Campbell had a chance to lay down the law without worrying about offending a soul. s***, I doubt his own teammates would argue much.

xtrememachine1 795 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 The NHL is just as responsible for this happening as Cooke. If they suspended his ass, and I'm talking severe suspension not a slap on the wrist, he would quit. The fact that he wasn't suspended for essentially ending Marc Savard's career is why Cooke feels like he can do whatever the hell he wants out there. Its BS. Not suspending him is telling him what he's doing is fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edicius 3,269 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 I'd be surprised if he gets more than a single game. Hell, I'll really be surprised if he gets more than a fine. Meanwhile, Volchenkov will probably get the full five games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
