almo89 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Cooke proved last year that he can play a cleaner game and still contribute to the team. He cut down his PIM's and I believe he really made an effort to change. I don't believe that this is intentional. Try watching it in normal motion. It's easy to watch everything in slow mo and say that he did it on purpose. Aaron Ward has already shown a few examples where this play is done all the time in hockey because of the obstruction rules. As much as I don't like Cooke, you have to call a spade a spade.

literaphile Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yeah because a criminal assault conviction resulting in a player's career being ended instantly is OK but agitators that just happen to play for the Bruins, Hawks and Leafs should be kicked out of the NHL just because. This board is a laugh riot sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb4u Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Silver lining for Ottawa fans IF Karlsson recovers 100% from this injury. A top 10 or even possibly top 5 pick in a strong 2013 draft class would give them a chance to target a player that would help in e not too distant future. It's not like they were going anywhere this year with Spezza out anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Butthurt owner. Should be careful not to run a foul of a lawyer with his statements. I'm also waiting for the NHL to warn the owner to shut the hell up as his comments are disrespectful of the league's officiating and supplementary discipline regime.

Captain Aerosex Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 If Cooke was to be kicked out of the league, the chance to make that decision was years ago and has now gone. He's here to stay now since he turned over a new leaf, and Ottawa's just butthurt over Karlsson getting injured on a freak accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzam Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I personally think Cooke should've been banned from the NHL since the Savard incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.DirtyDangles Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Phaneuf is no where near the level of being banned from the NHL. I hate Cooke, Avery, and Carcillo. Bolland and Marchand are fine. We cant just ban everyone who hates us. We wouldnt have much rivalries then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.DirtyDangles Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 What has David Bolland or Dion Phaneuf done to deserve being banned from the NHL? Bolland rustled the jimmies of the Sedins and suddenly he should be fired from his profession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I was actually not serious about Phaneuf I just hate him sooo much . Bolland is a rat on the ice just like Marchand and Avery . Maybe not as blatant or as bad , but this sac of garbage tries to hurt players. That is unacceptable . If the media can continually say Lappy and burrows are some of the worst offenders which is a complete frakken joke then the likes of Bolland should not be in this league.

Jägermeister Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I honestly cannot think of a single dirty play of Bollands. Likely because none have happened. Good agitator and good player. Deserves to be in the league, and if it weren't for his obvious dislike of the Canucks, and our returning of the favour, I would love for him to be on our team.

logic Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Bolland has never received supplemental discipline in his career. Also: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Bolland does those little hacks and whacks when the ref isn't looking. An agitator for sure and he gets under the skin of players. Hate him on the Hawks but would love him on the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Coach12 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Watching the game Cooke was crushed in the first by a pretty good hit , he got up and lost his sh... as he was skating by the Sens bench he was pointing at them and pretty much doin what Cooke does best. I really want to believe this is unintentional, but in my heart of hearts this was deliberate. The way he stepped down just seemed so placed...but we will never really know. I really hope Karlsson can bounce back like Selanne did after he severed his Achilles. and yes Cooke ,Avery, Marchand, Tootoo , Bolland, Carcillo, Phanuef (lol seriously) scum like this does not deserve to be in the league.

Jägermeister Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Don't forget about Torres. That guy is a cancer in this sport. Glad he isn't with our team anymore. Have to agree that Bolland isn't a goon, just a major pest, especially when he plays the Nucks. My top scumbags in the NHL are Bertuzzi (should have been banned a long time ago), Torres (should have been suspended for years for that cheap shot on Hossa), Avery (no longer in NHL), Carcillo (injured as usual).
