I have not idea if it was clear intent however Cooke wasn't controlling himself very well. Bickel did the same thing the night before but was lucky the guy didn't get hurt. I have had this happen many times in different levels I have played at. In Cooke's defense it's tough when you are reaching for the guy and he's a lot quicker than you are. Also, it is super tough to actually knee a guy on purpose if you are going at full speed. But again, Cooke could have controlled himself better. A lot of times you are reaching out to make contact. Either way, 7-10 games....the NHL has already set precedent. The players have to be more conservative out there. You are correct though....Cooke has really changed....and I'm not being sarcastic. Great PKer. He just got caught last night in a bad situation, he was about to get walked. 7-10 though.

Is Frattin playing?

Whether Cooke intended to due that or not, if seabrook got 4 Cooke should get 7-10.

Based on what seabrook received Cooke will probably get 7-10 games.

I have been trying to be a Wild fan for 6 years now...I thought it would be easier with Parise on the team. So far no dice. I can't help myself but cheer for the Avs....they are so fun to watch. I like how Statsny plays a lot...and Mackinnon is the next coming.

For some reason I don't think Hockeydb is count all his games....just his USHL schedule. The NTDP would have played college and international game too. I don't know if this is fact however I did hear this from that particular draft, Rocco is the shortest highest player ever drafted in the nhl. Had he been 6 ft....he would have went top 3.

All in all I do like lucic's play but I do agree with your comparison.

I know that...I thought the 3 question marks created some sort of odd smiley. I was being sarcastic. My point was that 3 games in the playoffs is like 15 in the regular season. Again I thought seabrooks hit was bad but he paid for part of it with the game misconduct. Rupps hit on oshie got 4 and that was so much worse.....oshie never had the puck and it was the regular season by a dirt ball player.

3 games in the playoffs is pretty crazy. I'm wondering if krejci is going to get a game for his intent to injure???

Coach Q is hit with $25k and luc gets $5k....it's the consistency that's the issue.

I'm somewhat shocked. But it was a borderline hit....still think it's extreme given he was assessed a game misconduct penalty. Pretty much means lucic and perry got by easy....although looking back lucic's was worse than Perry's.

It's like a coop....but they didn't do well last year.

5! The game sure has changed I guess. I have been it like that in bantams.

What do you mean?

I honestly don't think Seabrook, Lucic or Perry should sit ( I know Lucic has already been fined). The Seabrook hit looked bad (and ended up bad) however Seabrook was pot committed on that hit. Backes got rid of the puck in the split second Seabrook caught him with his head down. Again, it was bad and he deserved what he got (5 and the game). I mean, he cost his team the game. He shouldn't be suspended, Seabrook is not a dirty player. Lucic - I like Luc, he's a nasty player that is going to do anything to have his team win.....even if that means playing a little dirty. That's all that was. Guys wear cups, however that still hurts like hell. The fine was worth it to me as he didn't receive a penalty.

Doubt it.

Hey now. I'm a toews loving blackjawks fan..... he's not getting suspended. he'll get fined though.

What's with the rant? People are upset with lucic and perry.....there is no difference. You are acting like lucic is getting all the press. The bruins aren't the Yankees, they are not the Red Sox, etc.

He'll have his degree after next fall. There is no chance he plays two more years.

Boston 4 Redwings 1(maybe 2). PB - 1g 1a, +2 65% + FO %.....he may draw Pavel....pretty standard line for him early in the playoffs.

That Mackinnon kid sure is talented....he was fun to watch last night.

Mark has some quotes already in which he mentions next year....he gives the impression he's back. His production isn't anywhere near where it needs to be to leave, in my honest opinion. I do think he averages over a pt per game next year though.

I'm thinking he's going to focus on getting this semester finished then he will leave. I believe Florida's A team is done so he wouldn't be playing hockey anyway and signing would just be a distraction at school. I think he's gone.

Agreed, and toews played with two high end players....so did kristo. There hasn't been too many high end players for the Sioux that we weren't able to match with other players with some offensive ability.

That can happen when you have to absolutely carry two other players on your shoulders every single game.
