"The oft-penalized Cooke received the stiffest sentence yet in his 12-season NHL career when he was suspended Monday by the league for the remainder of the regular season and the first round of the playoffs for elbowing defenseman Ryan McDonagh of the New York Rangers in the head one day earlier (ESPN)."
It is about time the NHL finally did something about this guy. He has out of control. Rob wrote about it yesterday and there is really no one else in the NHL that is as bad as Cooke. This is the same guy that basically ended Savard's career, and really should've been suspended about 8 other times. Hopefully this sends a message that these kinds of hits have no place in hockey.
What I really want to see is Mario Lemieux try to void this guys contract. Mario came out earlier this season and wanted stiffer penalties for head shots. Well, Mr. Lemieux here is you chance. Do the right thing and kick this bum off your team!
