I'll probably join
Ink and Ringer. Join. Deeznutz, I'll figure out a format.
I don't think the ref's had a good view of the play to be honest. It was a reckless place, but I don't think he the intent to injure was there. It was definitely no worse than the Richards on Booth hit. Since it is Cooke though I see a 2-3 game suspension coming his way. He kept the elbow tucked, but got him clean with the shoulder. Hope he's ok as well, I've always liked Savard.
Agreed, but even though he kept the elbow tucked, he went right for his head. Think cuz its Cooke he gets 5 games. Is Guerin hurt?
what am I joining?![]()
Guerin I believe is suffering from what was termed back spasms.
5 games at most is what I'd guess. That would keep him out of the rematch at the Garden coming up.
I'm not saying this just because I'm a Bruins fan, but the NHL should think about being much more severe when it comes to situations like this. Hit to the head like that have no place in the game, but I suppose it will take someone doing this to Crosby before they get serious about it.
Your posts are getting very redundant and old.
Yes, the pens have knocked the caps out of the playoffs many times and have won 3 cups now. Sad, but there are other teams that have not won the cup either. I think its time to move on and get over it. Ya never know it could be your year!
The difference is in the hit itself. Not saying its right, but it was almost the same as richards hit on booth except richards extended his elbow a bit. Cooke at least left his tucked. Regardless, they both ended up with a player getting KTFO. Also, Cooke was suspended at least once if not twice earlier in the year so your ASSumption of it having to do with the jersey was just proved false.
Your boy Ovechkin likes going after knee's. That is a hit that is penalized and one that you can be suspended for. HE is a repeat offender for the same type of hit. Green's retaliatory elbow was just as cheap and was worthy of his suspension.
Cooke and Richards both should have been suspended for their cheap shot hits. Until Campbell is out these will probably keep coming up.
