I love Matt Cooke, but it becomes really tough to defend him after stuff like this. I’m usually the guy who makes excuses for him, but it’s really hard to say that he didn’t target the head on this one. I’m expecting two to four games suspension. Hopefully that doesn’t hurt us too much.

Hmm.
Blind-side arm-led headshot on a skill player late in a game by a guy with a rap sheet. Wisdom says 5+, personal expectation says 3, but the NHL’s wildly inconsistent rulings for this say somewhere between 0 and 15 games, with a 5% chance of going to the bonus round for cash and prizes.

That hit. . .
wow. That was ridiculous. There’s shots to the head where you are squared up to the person and hit them and their head, and then there is this. My goodness I wouldn’t complain if they ended his season.
