Re: Cooke to have in person hearing/ 7 games
I don't think seven games is enough. At this point, it's clear Cooke is intentionally trying to take out players. I think it's time for the league to look at 20+ games and see if that will "reform" him.Comment

If the league rules intent to injure on suspensions, the offending player should be suspended until the injured player is able to play again.Comment

The counter argument is that a team can call up John Doe from their farm team, get him to take out your all-star, and it makes no difference to the offending team that they lose some nobody.Originally posted by JoshComment

7 games is not good enough. Seriously, the guy just showed, AGAIN, that he doesn't have any respect for his opponent. This is his 6th suspension. He ended Marc Savard's career...pretty much ended Sean Donovan's....Add to that a few cheap shots he wasn't penalized for and you got a good case of "here's the door, Buddy", have a nice retirement. I just don't get how this guy is still around to do all this crap.Comment

"First and foremost, I want to say that I am disappointed and sorry that Tyson Barrie cannot play for the Colorado Avalanche tonight. I wish he could. Unfortunately, it was not my intent to collide with him knee-on-knee. It was my intent to finish my check," Cooke said. "The playoffs are a hard and physical time and it's my job to be physical. I've led my teams in hits all three games and it's an intense time. I've led my team this year in hits, and in this series.
"Since March 20, 2011, I've been a changed player. I've approached the game differently. I think differently about the game. The stats I've collected over those three seasons prove that I am a changed player. And the plays that I make and the plays that I don't make prove to that point as well.
"At the end of the day, this situation was not my intent."
