Dustin Brown doesn't have a rep as a dirty player but he totally elbowed Cooke in the face. Is he any better than Cooke? Kings fans love DB, and Pens fans love Cooke.
No one likes Avery.

As Don Cherry pointed out Cooke only goes after non fighters and stars. Dont give me that he takes it stuff. He doesnt go after tough guys because hes scared. He is the guy in the league with the rep for trying to constantly hurt other teams star players. He earned that rep over his carrer. The guy goes after peoples knees and gives blind head shots. DB took him on head up, but he did get an elbow up yeah. Was he settling a past score? Very possible given how many seasons he has cut short with his crap. To compare Dustin Brown to Matt Cooke the biggest cheapshot artist is just silly.
I brought it up because you have this huge issue with Avery for being a punk and want him gone. No one will argue Avery is a punk. Yet Cooke who has deliberately injured many players is not as bad? Or Brown is as bad? Not a chance and you would be hard pressed to find anyone who thinks Avery or Brown come close.
As Tom said I would be happy with 40. I dont think his style of play benefits the league in anyway. He hurts the league when he injures good players with his cheapshots.
