2/13/13 Senators v. Penguins- Official Game Thread

[letsgoalpens]

Cooke tried to put Neil's stick over the boards. It didn't make it. I think that is where his misconduct is stemming from.

I hate Neil, but if someone did that to Crosby you'd hope we'd respond too.

Why? Even Steckle was an accident.

Come on... Seriously. You know we'd be out for blood in the same situation, warranted or not. People don't stay cool when a teams star is seriously injured, accidental or not. Especially when the perpretrator has the reputation of a Matt Cooke.

[jwest21]

That's still a fine to MacLean right? 10 minute misconduct last 5 of game?

Would that mean Bylsma gets fined too?

[pens2005]

I can't believe anyone actually likes that behind the net PP cam

[KG]

Cooke doesn't really deserve the benefit of doubt obviously. I have no problem with Neil going at him a little bit. Not big deal. No suspensions, move on...

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

I think Cooke got the misconduct to protect him and because he tried to throw Neil's stick into the crowd.

[skullman80]

Neil's a punk, but if someone did what Cooke did To Karlsson accident or not, I would hope we would respond. Karlsson is pretty much their best player.

It doesn't take much for this team to go into full brat mode. You're probably right.

[booboo]

Cooke seriously just stood there and took 3 punches and didn't do anything lololol.

Wrong. He hit Neil's glove with his cheek like 3 or 4 times!

You punched me three times? Say goodbye to your stick, buddy.

[ron_duguays_hair]

Actually love that the move by Neil. He can play on my team anyday. Gotta protect your stars.

[Ad@m]

I give it 10 minutes before the fast hands middle finger becomes a gif

I'm still laughing at him

[Rocco]

We think it's an accident because we saw the play and 30 replays. Senators players saw one of their best players go down and Matt Cooke near the crime scene. They aren't going to consider much more than that.

I would hope they wouldn't unless it was something intentional. Accidents happen- cheap shots to another player are not needed

[booboo]

Why it took so long for HCDB to figure out that it is Cookie who is the best available winger for the 1b line?

Boychuk looked like a grinder with hands on that third line. Maybe we see the pieces coming down to where they should be?

[Steve]

Neil would be one of the last NHL players I'd want to fight.

Punching that head would be like punching a bucket of cement.

Who did it protect?

Yeah and if you say anything bad about matt cooke....some people here find it their job to tell you off...

[Gaucho]

God please no! No! Nooo!

[jwest21]

TSN says he Karlsson needs surgery. And the comments section is alive with Cooke-bashing. intent to injure, distinct downward kick. All the good stuff

Mostly the devils fans i see calling for his head...kinda ironic

Murray: "It's Matt Cooke. What else should I say? Watch the replay."

Yes, because the Penguins were obviously running at their players.

[GDR]

Bryan Murray crying about it post-game.

[skullman80]

Meh. Cooked earned his reputation, so he isn't going to get the benefit of the doubt, and that's his fault and his only.

I don't think it was malicious, but I could see how some could see it that way.
