Matt Cooke

The hit Matt Cooke put on Boston Bruins Marc Savard was dirt. But in the same sense the hit was a very good hit. Every fan of hockey would love to have a hitter on there team like Cooke. You can look at this two ways. One the hit was meant to hurt Savard. When you come in on a player with your elbow, your meaning to do some damage. Yes it looked like Marc Savard lowered his head but when you only have seconds to react you need to make whatever decision is best for you. Second he was going in for a good hit. Hitting is a big part of hockey. Its not like football when you hit the QB right after he throws the ball, and you get called for the penalty. There is no penalty for hitting a player right after he shoots the puck. Matt Cooke not getting suspended for that hit is a shame. A suspension should of been given to him. 3, 5, season? Not sure what it should of been but it defiantly should not of been 0. I cant wait to see what happens when the Pens travel to Boston on the 18Th. Its not going to be pretty. I guarantee that!!! Lets go Pens!!!
