If Campbell doesn't give him at least 20 game I think Bettman should finally can Campbell and put someone competent in that role. The NHL is getting a bad rep because of these nasty head shots and an even worse rep for the horrible inconsistencies in the discipline for said hits.
Cooke should be tossed out of the league for this crap, its only going to be a matter of time until he ends someones career with one of these cheap shots. And i`d also like to point out that Mario Lemieux hasn`t said a word about this publicly yet. He was pretty quick to villianize the Islanders and their players not that long ago for their dirty play.
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Matt Cooke had an in-person hearing with NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell in Toronto today, stemming from his elbow to the head of New York Rangers defenceman Ryan McDonagh.
The incident occurred less than five minutes into the third period of Sunday's Rangers-Penguins game, when Cooke went high and landed an elbow on McDonagh's jaw. McDonagh had his back turned to the Penguins forward, and was in the process of shooting the puck into the offensive zone. Cooke was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct.
