this is more what i meant. He was a really good player when he played hockey and wasnt being a POS
Absolutely, he could play.
That’ll do.
I don’t know how former teammates personally unfortunately.
Henrick Sedin, for one example:
“It's not his game to rip heads off, but his game is being physical. He's always been a good skater, and with the new rules, he's getting in on the fore-check a lot easier that he used to, with a lot more speed. I could name 15 other players who are the same way, but obviously, lately, he's done some things that shouldn't be in hockey. If you look at the last few incidents, obviously that is not hockey."
Bill Guerin:
"We're all under the same umbrella, whether the guy's on my team and I'm sitting right next to him or he's playing in California," Guerin said. "It doesn't matter. We're all playing in the same league. We all want the same safety. We all want to be looked after the same way. I understand [Cooke] is on my team but, hey, he's in a tough spot."
He was a great player, great 3rd liner. Even his Hall of Fame linemates didn’t have time for the shit he was pulling.
Eliminate the unnecessary, dirty shit from his game, he’s a much better player, and much more valuable. Easy to play his game while not being considered the dirtiest player, or among them, in the past 30 years. There are a dozen guys every year that do it.
