You all forget that Pittsburgh is the ultimate bandwagon town. The Penguins are the ultimate bandwagon team. If they're playing like shit nobody is going to be a fan. You said yourself you don't watch Pens games anymore @MetalheadPenguinsFan :laugh:

At least Cooke never injured anyone while they were celebrating a goal with a bullshit cheapshot into the boards a la Dale Hunter.
Cooke's playing style earned him the reputation as one of the NHL's "pests".<a href="Matt Cooke - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a><a href="Matt Cooke - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a> During his NHL career, Cooke was criticized and often suspended for hits, some involving head-shots, or knee-on-knee collisions that have injured opposing players. Most notable was a hit to the head of Marc Savard, which was an important factor influencing NHL rule changes intended to deter such conduct. After his longest suspension in 2011 for a hit to the head of Ryan McDonagh, Cooke pledged to change his style of play, although he had another lengthy suspension in the 2014 playoffs for a knee-on-knee hit delivered to Tyson Barrie of the Colorado Avalanche.

During his career, Cooke has been criticized by the media, league, fans, and team executives, and other players for his hitting in ways more likely to cause injury such as hits to the head or hits to an opponent's knee.[15][16] Of note, CBC host and former head coach Don Cherry has been consistently and effectively critical of Cooke, personally, and has faulted the NHL for not responding appropriately to Cooke's intents to render opposing players unable to play over the years.[17]

In the 2008–09 season, with the Penguins, Cooke was suspended on two different occasions. In November, he received a two-game suspension for a check to the head of the New York Rangers' Artem Anisimov. In January 2009, he received another two-game suspension for a hit to the head of Scott Walker of the Carolina Hurricanes.[18]

On March 7, 2010, in a game against the Boston Bruins, Cooke delivered a blow to the head of Boston's Marc Savard, concussing Savard and forcing him to miss almost two months. Cooke said he was not intending to hurt Savard;[19] Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli, however, characterized the hit as "a very surgical hit to the head."[20] Fellow Penguin teammate Bill Guerin also analyzed Cooke's hit on Savard to Pittsburgh reporters.[20] "If a guy gets hurt like that with a shot to the head, there's got to be something," said Guerin, adding that he expected Cooke to be suspended. "I understand he (Cooke) is on my team but, hey, he's in a tough spot."[21] In a ruling, which has received wide criticism,[20][22] Cooke was not given a suspension for the hit on Savard.[23] On March 24, in response to the outcry over Cooke not being suspended, the league implemented a new rule aimed at prohibiting blindside hits to the head like the one Cooke delivered to Savard. In announcing the rule, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said, "The elimination of these types of hits should significantly reduce the number of injuries, including concussions, without adversely affecting the level of physicality in the game."[16][24] Earlier, Bettman appeared on Leafs Lunch on Mojo 640 in Toronto to discuss the Cooke hit on Savard. "I was very unhappy and upset with that hit," said Bettman. "I was more upset there was nothing (in the League rules) to do to punish it."[15]

I don't understand how Ohio State won the title but couldn't beat a 20 pt Michigan dog lol. That's pathetic.

If Ryan Day loses to Michigan this year how many people will want him fired?
 
I don't really care. 80% of Ohio State's title roster is going to the NFL this year anyway.

Expect a significant dropoff without mercenary Howard.
