False. How do you justify seven games when you have a guy who tried to kill David Backes get three games?
 
Re: 2014 Stanley Cup - Don't Toews me, man!!!

i guess repeat (and we're not talking two times) offender didn't register. matt cooke has been suspended like 5-6 freakin times before this and just took a guy out for at least a month.

seabrook's hit was very, very bad but this isn't hard to grasp. player reputation is taken into consideration.

Yeah, guess the fact that he cleaned up his act and hasn't been suspended in 18 months means nothing. :confused:

In addition... incredibly cheap and premeditated. Had plenty of time to reconsider his impending actions.

Any non-Wild fans think it was too much?

So Seabrook was what then?
How about Bickell?

You hate it because it's Cooke, not because of the play or you'd be calling out your own.

because we're pretty sure at this point that cooke is a callous monster who plays a nice face to the public.

edit: and after 2 of the three goals Bobs gave up tonight he and the bluejackets are pretty ****ing lucky

edit #2: this may be a bit extreme but this guy is basically Billy Tibbetts without the violent criminal streak. Suspend him for the season with the caveat that he can be loaned out to the ECHL or lower... league pays his salary.

most players are able to go their entire career without getting suspended. sorry if i don't throw a parade for this puke just because he was able to control himself for a year and a half.

Because the NHL thinks knee injuries are more important than brain injuries. Personally I'd rather lose 6 months of my career (while getting paid) than have to eat through a straw when I'm 50. What a joke.

And now I'm seeing an interview with Erik Johnson talking about how Cooke has no place in the game and everyone knows why he's out there. Hey Erik...do you remember sucker punching half of the Wild in the last 5 minutes of game 1? Clown.

I barely know who Cooke is. Again, I'm not against the Wild here.

The video tells the whole story. It's amazing to me how some can blindly defend their own players.

I said Seabs deserved a suspension from the start. I said that Bickell's knee was bush league.


Sometimes a Minnesota player will do something worthy of criticism that goes above and beyond whatever you people think is my prejudice against all things Minnesota. This is one of these times.

Seriously, how can anyone defend or rationalize what Cooke did?

In addition, the guy's now on his 7th suspension, I believe. Any idea how rarified that air is? I don't think Torres has more than 4.
 
Re: 2014 Stanley Cup - Don't Toews me, man!!!

I don't think any Wild fan is saying that Cooke didn't deserve something, but 133% more than Seabrooke? Give me a ****ing break.

This. So much this.
 
Re: 2014 Stanley Cup - Don't Toews me, man!!!

if the roles were reversed and cooke hit backes in the head while seabrook went knee on knee with someone...cooke would get the longer suspension. has zero to do with the league thinking knee injuries are more important than head injuries. that is nothing but hot garbage.

Tell me why Cooke got more games than Seabrook without using the term "repeat offender" or any similes. I'll wait.

why bother? if it were up to me both would get more games. Cooke should have got more games, but not by much.

edit: and after what happened to Savard the NHL doesn't give a rip about head injuries... their whole justificaiton for no suspension was bull**** to begin with. The NHL assesses suspensions of how much they make the league look bad.
 
Re: 2014 Stanley Cup - Don't Toews me, man!!!

ha, classic. i don't give a **** if you don't like the reasoning. i'm not gonna make up some other reason. what a putz.
 
Re: 2014 Stanley Cup - Don't Toews me, man!!!

patman if they did't care about head injuries they never would have changed the rule that previously somehow made cooke's hit on savard legal. i just don't agree with that.
