From
where I sit it looks like the Matt Cooke is back in trouble again...
For
all it's hardly surprising, it's also quite sad. Cooke hadn't been
in trouble in 18 months. Outside of his accidental cut on Erik
Karlsson there hasn't been much out of Cooke, more importantly he
hasn't been in the news. At least until game 3 against Colorado.
It's hard to say what the NHL will do with Cooke, but let's face it
he's going to get the book thrown at him. I wouldn't be at all
surprised to see Cooke gone for the rest of the playoffs. And he
probably should be. This won't be a suspension just based on the
latest hit, but on everything over Cooke's career. It was a
dangerous, stupid hit on a vulnerable player. Thankfully the first
round has been more than good enough for fans to enjoy, even if we do
end up talking briefly about stupid players making stupid plays.
At
least that's how I see it and I sit in the cheap seats.
