Skip to about the 1 minute mark, this is the only video I could find sorry for the terrible quality.

2 games into the season and this s*** is happening already

[Electrophile]

Matt Cooke is a boil on the ass of the NHL.

[Carman]

As much as I hate Matt Cooke as a hockey player, he isn't completely to blame.

It's up to the NHL to enforce it's diving rules if they want players to stop it.

[Konnan511]

It wasn't embellished. Looks like he took a tricep in the jaw.

[Shoreline]

Sooo...

/inb4no"collarbonehits"rule?

Looked clean as f*** to me. Want more.

[Doc Holliday]

Was clean, and it looked like Cooke got his bell rung a tad.

[GMRwings1983]

Embellishment has been a part of hockey a long time now. I hate it too.

This won't affect suspensions, however, since replays will show that it was embellished and no punishment will be necessary.

[Konnan511]

Definitely got his bell rung, took a shoulder right to the face (not principle point of contact, though). I don't see how anyone could say he was faking anything.

[AceInTheSleeve]

I don't see how anyone could say he was faking anything.

Ive never seen someone hold their forehead like that after a hit. Looks to me like he was trying to emphasize the head contact, and was putting on an act. And seeing him jump right up and engage in a scrum after how disoriented he supposedly was? I don't see how anyone couldn't say he was faking that.

[dicksmack]

Clean hit, definitely embellished....

[dragonballgtz]

Players started to embellish last year. All that does is make the refs jobs even harder for them to do.

i think this is what you're looking for:

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

i think this is what you're looking for:

We already went over the fact that he embellished that. If you're comparing Abdelkader to Cooke, in the sense that they're both garbage, there is no comparison. Cooke is a career piece of s***. Makes a living off throwing blindside hits and elbows. Abdelkader DID embellish that hit, but you can't compare Cooke to Abdelkader.

I don't expect an intelligent response from you, because I know you post this s*** just to stir trouble on here.

[stinky fish taco]

i think it was 100% on-topic. are we concerned about players embellishing head shots due to the new stricter rules, or not?

it's not like matt cooke will be the only guy doing it...and that play was nowhere near as bad of an embellishment as abdelkader's. that's incredibly emabarrassing for the wings.

Never said it was off-topic. So Abdelkader makes an ass out of himself by embellishing a hit once, and he's just as big of a piece of s*** as Cooke?

where did i say that?

everyone already knows that cooke is human garbage. that's nothing new.

a discussion about the potential that players may intentionally embellish any hit near the head due to the new rules might actually result in some conversation. it just so happens that the most blatant example of that so far was abdelkader. hopefully it was a one-time thing.

i think this is what you're looking for:

You said that here.

Obviously, you didn't say it verbatim, but you clearly were implying 'Cooke=Abdelkader' or something similar with this post.

But then, you already knew that....as did anyone else with a fully functioning brain.

See - I didn't actually say in the line above that you have a full functioning brain, but I implied it.

There's no need to play dumb. Go ahead and stand up for the point you are making. I don't agree with it and neither would most, I would imagine. But, you're entitled to your opinion, so don't be fickle and back off from it.

Unless 'Bring Back the Bruise Brothers' is right and your whole purpose in posting was to stir up trouble.

Must be why he left the game after the hit for a while.

i was implying that abdelkader had the worst embellishment of a hit to the head so far this season, which is completely true. nothing to do with cooke.

sorry to disappoint you.

i wouldn't make a habit of trying to determine other posters' intentions. you're apparently not very good at it.

Best response in this thread.

We have already seen a couple embellishments. They won't be going away anytime soon.
