I'm not condoning it, but I think it's a bad example because technically it wasn't an illegal hit at the time, it was a kind of hit that Scott Stevens built a career on.

But now thankfully the NHL had said enough is enough (though they really haven't) and deemed it an illegal hit from here on out and to that I say great.

So basically I condemn the Cooke hit while at the same time support the NHL decision at the time to not suspend him.


With this Chara hit though it was already an illegal hit, Chara had no business making that hit and to boot from replays it certainly looks liked he purposely gave Pacioretty an extra shove that caused him to gro right into that turnbuckle.
Im sorry, but the turnbuckle comment has me in stitches.

Anyways, I agree with what you are saying. Im glad NHL started to crack down on pieces of crap like Cooke.
