Its about time. Cooke is a POG like Dale Hunter and Sean Avery are. There is no place in hockey for them.

Share Pittsburgh Penguins forward Matt Cooke has been suspended for the remainder of the regular season (10 games) and the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for delivering an elbow to the head of New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh in NHL game #1080 yesterday, the National Hockey League announced today. Cooke will forfeit $219,512.20 in salary.

"Mr. Cooke, a repeat offender, directly and unnecessarily targeted the head of an opponent who was in an unsuspecting and vulnerable position," said NHL Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell. "This isn't the first time this season that we have had to address dangerous behavior on the ice by Mr. Cooke, and his conduct requires an appropriately harsh response."

Good. Could not believe they only gave him a 2 minute minor for that. I saw it and thought damn thats a 4 minute or 5 major for sure.

(which would have put the rangers on their 5-3 for 4 minutes instead of just the 1.57)

Refs blew that one i think.




Glad to see ya back Med. How are things?

He did issue an apology today and says he needs to "change his ways". It's amazing what $200G's less in the wallet will do to a guy.

Where's Mario in all this? The guy rips the league when Crosby gets hurt but says nothing when the biggest ferret in the league is one of his employees and is a repeat offender.

Exactly. Where's Mario? He should suspend Cooke for all playoff series if he was truly serious about his concern with head shots.
