Yeah and Ulf's hit on Neely was unintentional as well...PLEASE....Cooke Should NOT be in the league for that hit on SAVARD...PERIOD....I hope someone breaks his KneeCap
Can we please have this stupid thread moved to the appropiate forum......Its taking away views from my Tranny Thread....:0008
And this is exactly the problem with the reaction to the hit on Karlsson. People are painting Cooke guilty on the Karlsson hit because of things he did in the past which is ridiculous.
Again, if Cooke did this on purpose then it was a hell of a no-look shot.
I have played organized hockey since I was 6. In my opinion, Cooke had no intention of injuring him in that manner. If you have ever played in a checking league, when going into the boards chasing a puck and you are behind an opposing player, it is not uncommon to lift one leg after a power stride to facilitate a single skate stride around your opponent. This move also allows you to avoid a tripping penalty, if you watch closely, Cooke's skate would have split the skates of Karrlson and when they go into the boards, Karlson (sp?) would have either stepped on Cooke's skate or he would have tried to turn and Cooke would have taken his skate out from under him. Lifting the leg is a move much like the one in basketball where a defender seems to let the ball handler dribble by him on his left side and he reaches around the opponents back and pokes the ball out with his right hand. Lifting his leg increases his reach.
Anyway, it looked like a clean hockey play to me and would not have been an issue at all if say Toews did it. Also, Cooke could in no way navigate his skate straight to his Achilles while going to the boards like that. Cooke's reputation is the only reason that this play has even been questioned. He is a chippy player with a reputation. Like Rafi Torres.
Hope this helps,

Penguin if Jack(Johnny Most) Edwards the biggest homer in Hockey says it was a clean hit and nothing wrong with it then it's good enough for...I still hate that dirty piece of shit. On another note just notice the iPad just has Quotation symbol for one side or I'm I totally missing something?

If Don Cherry defends Cooke you KNOW it was accidental.

Hope those fedex employees are ok. Which one got hurt bad? Was he jumping a fence running from a dog?

Yes, Cooke's horrible reputation and past history of incidents is the reason many people are skeptical. If a man cheats 5 times, and doesn't return phone calls for a while he is much more scrutinized than a man that has never cheated and might have just not seen the calls.
Cooke has lost the right to the benefit of the doubt.
