Well it seems dartboard justice is at it again, Cooke gets fuckin nothing, nothing, I'm at a loss for words on this one, which doesn't happen very often, it's an embarassing day for the NHL that's about all I can say, and that Colin Campbell needs to be subjected to one of these hits just to see what they are like, I have they suck.
Excellent article Wes, and once again very relevant with this latest non suspension. I reckon Vinnie Lecavalier said it best about Coooke:
Quote:
"He's got no respect for the players," said Tampa Bay Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier. "Matt Cooke, he's been doing that for a long time."
"He knew exactly what he was doing when he came with his shoulder," Lecavalier stated. "He knew exactly that he was going to hit his head and that's how guys get hurt."

Lightning stars unhappy with lack of suspension for Cooke
Just found this as well, now if Campbell based it on the Richards/Booth hit, he based it on his own stupidity, as Richards should have recieved a lengthy suspension as well, it's just baffling to me, gonne be interesting to see the NHL when it's one of their golden boys sprawled out on the ice unconcious.

Colin Campbell, NHL senior vice president of hockey operations and the league's czar of discipline, based his Cooke ruling on precedent -- the decision not to suspend Philadelphia Flyers forward Mike Richards for his hit on Florida Panthers forward David Booth.
