Yeah I don't think Cooke tried tearing the guys Achilles but I've played enough hockey to know your skate shouldn't be THAT high in the air. Enough is enough with this guy. Some of the media sees his point totals and think he has changed. He hasn't. He's the same scum but with better stats.

**** man. I don't care if we would be ripping them off (ahhh hoo-hoo Robin), but I wan't whatever lighting system Calgary has that lights their entire ice surface up red after a goal/win. That would look awesome at home.

I actually came in here to see if there was anyone who actually thought this too, it just doesn't look kosher to me. I don't buy the "totally incidental" thing.

It's not unusual Clarkson to go into the boards with guys with his leg higher than Cooke had his. It was just plain bad luck something bad happened this time.

And Clarkson never hurt anyone.

The guy is an NHL player. When you have the skate that high you are aware that it's a sort of weapon in that moment. The guy seems to try to push Karlsson into the boards with the left knee, goes up in the air with his skate and comes down with it pretty hard. In that moment he knows there are the legs of Karlsson right there. I don't think his intent was to injure, but his movements are careless, which just comes from his ********* style of play ingrained in his hockey dna.

Ya I think Cooke is just crazy reckless. I want to believe it wasn't an attempt to do harm but that is def not kosher.

Puck is to the right, why are you lifting up your left foot and putting that much pressure on it coming down out of the air?

Get the creep out of the league already. Does he have to kill someone or just permanently maim them? Notice the Pens are on the PK too. How often do you see someone trying to throw a legit hit in the offensive corner on the PK?

I dunno, but I just have a hard time thinking that was intentional. I know it's Cooke, but slicing a guy with your skate? Guy can't be that much of an a-hole..... can he?

There's no way he intentionnaly tried to cut him. He wanted to run his guy in the boards and when you do that, you usually lift up your leg for added leverage. Aaron Ward, who's on the TSN pannel, was showing several clips of identical hits along the boards where players lift ip their leg between the opposing players legs (he called it the "triangle") to secure a opponent on the boards.

There's no way this is intentional unless Cooke planned it the night before or sitting on the bench. Hockey is such a fast game there's no way to make something like this look like an accident.

You know if it wasn't Cooke I'd definitely say it was an unfortunate accident. The fact that Cooke is the perp, though, makes me wonder a bit.

I'll echo what everyone is saying in that if it wasn't Cooke who did it, we'd all be saying it was an unfortunate accident. However, the fact remains that other players make that same exact play pinning someone into the boards without being careless enough to bring their skate down on another players body part.

If Cooke isn't going to learn to be more careful, expel him from the league. Hockey's dangerous enough without somebody being careless with their movements out there.

Ironically, people said the same thing about Suh kicking Schaub in the groin on Thanksgiving. He didn't deserve any more benefit of the doubt than Cooke does.
