Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
I should probably stop stirring the pot, but its just so much fun.
People who dont think the intent was there? LOL
He shoved him in to the stanchion with his left arm. The video dont lie. These two teams hate each other. He went after Him in a previous game, again the video dont lie. I guess everyone Bruins fan who doesnt think this was a very dangerous and dirty play to have no issue with the Cooke Savard hit. I think most would argue the Chara hit was more dangerous with every bit of the intent. He extends his arm forcing him into the glass. Hes a veteran of the league and knew what he was doing. Cooke was just finishing his check on Savard as the Boston announcer said. After all Savard had the puck closer to the hit by Cooke then Pacioretty did.
Scott I never said it would negate it. I would like to see Chara suspended and said that. My point was to be careful given previous support as it could be seen as contradictory calling for such a long suspension now. Especially when its the Bruins which is a rival and the history with past incidents. The next Cooke incident cant be to far off after all. Dont want to look like Mario talking about a team gooning it up while your team was leading the league in goon behavior of fighting with a player suspended for a dirty hit.
