Do you guys want to know why elbows and blindsides were not just tolerated but encouraged 15 years ago? Because no one knew the full extent of the damage caused by those hits. Players today may not be as tough as they used to, but they're sure as shit smarter than they used to be.
Talk about headshots I was just watching a clip on youtube . It was the game between the broad street bullys and the russians geez headshots galore. Almost felt sorry for them ruskys ....almost
@aarovss what are you talking about the Chara hit was clean if you move it one foot in either direction its just another crushing hit remember Chara has never in 13 years been suspended just because a player gets hurt doesnt make the hit dirty Cooke is a repeat offender and doesnt belong in the same list as Chara stop trying to connect them
i don't care what any of you say, the zdeno chara hit on max pacioretti deserved this type of suspension way more than this cheap elbow. give him 10 minute misconduct, or even a game. not like 17 games... that's absolutely rediculous.
@NHLArchive That's due to the fact that Stevens played in an era where those hits were acceptable. In today's NHL, he would be called much more. Cooke got away with the hit on Savard that everyone and their grandmothers knew was a cheap shot.
Just because there is no penalty doesn't mean that it wasn't a dirty hit.
@NHLArchive When I watched Lindros get hit by Stevens, I see elbow to head contact. Stevens is not on the criminal level of Cooke, but he definitely got away with hits that would have been looked at twice in today's NHL. The hit to Lindros was clearly head contact, the one to Kayria was a blind side, and those are his two biggest hits. Standards back then, those were clean plays, but today, they are suspension-worthy.
@NHLArchive he isn't entirely wrong....by todays standards, Scott Stevens would spend a lot of time in the penalty box and sitting out due to suspension....but it would also mean he wouldn't have to worry as much about the lasting effects of concussions on his post-hockey health....those huge collisions took there toll on his brain.
@NHLArchive he was one of my all-time favorites, but most of his big hits would get him into trouble with todays rules...he left his feet, targeted the head and hit unsuspecting players all the time...his game would have had to change in order for him not to spend time in the press box.
Here's the problem. You know everyone's in such an uproar about Matt Cooke and headshots, but anyone who has been watching this league a long time knows that 15 years ago he would have been a hero for these hits. The problem is, Bettman is changing the league, but some guys aren't changing with it. That's why I have a hard time finding Cooke this terrible assasin, because if it was heroic 15 years ago, how bad can it be now.
@NHLArchive Yes they were, and I think Cooke needs to realize he's not in that era, but suddenly the same thing that went on 15 years ago as entertainment is this horrible offense
@chihawks50 He has NOT been suspended four times and as far as intent to injure, he issued a very classy apology to McDonagh and Pittsburgh, and ask any media person, he's a very nice guy. He created a charity to benefitkids with disablilities and he has 5 kids in his box at every game.
@qongo6 the NHLArchive agrees with me and the other people. Cooke apologizing, hes looking for sympathy. Maybe he should start being a role model for kids
@chihawks50 I totally agree. That whole Foundation of Hope thing is really awful. Those kids of his better NEVER start a charity to help the disabled....
@qongo6 It's bad now because scientific studies show that constant head trauma can cause severe repercussions in the future, that is why they are trying to take out headshots from the game.
And don't get me wrong if you want to hate on cooke go ahead that is part of what makes hockey special the hatred of individual players and the hatred between teams and players. I like hating on some players too. Its part of hockey. Good vid by the way . Keep up the good work
@ihateobamapiss0nhim you don't hate matt cooke? there are maybe 3 players i "hate" in the whole league, cooke, kaleta, and maybe one other, and it is easy to see why, these guys aren't tough, just diving cheapshot artists.
O I don't have a problem with ppl hating Cooke. That's what he wants anyway. But I am starting to get tired of all the crying going on in hockey lately . You can't read an article anywere without ppl whining about the rough stuff . I guess the part that gets to me is most of the ppl screaming outrage in the media and everywere only talk about hockey when they have a reason to complain. They only discuss hockey when somthing bad happens . I mean if you don't like it don't watch it.
This is definitly a different nhl today than is was even 5 years ago. But all you ppl bursting your guts in sanctamonius anger just remember how much you hate (dirty) hockey the next time one of the players on your fav team throws a flying elbow. Its easy to hate on a player as long as he dosnt play for your team. So just remember this when on of your fav players makes a play like this
@ihateobamapiss0nhim i think people overreact to physicality these days, however, me not being one of them, you still can hate cooke just as much as everyone hated marchment, lemieux, and samuelsson back in the day.
@NHLArchive overreact? Tell that to Marc Savard! Cooke ended his CAREER. He's a cheap-shot artist. I think what the league needs to do is focus on these players and this type of play, and give them three stirkes. 1st time around you get fined and suspended. 2md offense you get fined and suspended worse. If there is a 3rd time, we call the police and press assault charges. Simple.
@soberdave1971 oh please, not saying that hit was legal, but do you know how many careers have been ended because of hits, dirty or not? It's part of professional sports and always will be
Chara's hit def. wasnt intented to injure the guy. the cause for the severity of the hit was the lack of padding along the bench boards. Cooke's elbow on the other was intent to injure. He's a dirty player and needs to be cut.
sure this is dirty... but the guy who got elbows is a pussy, that wasnt even a hard elbow or anything.
IMO, the whole League and its "fans" are being little bitches about things. Look at the burrows one (if its even on youtube)... The guy the pretends like he got SMOKED from behind, yet burrows didnt do anything. Its a joke. Next thing you know people are going to be getting suspended for fights.
@LegendaryGoetz Are you fucking kidding? He was elbowed in the head and that elbow clipped him pretty good. And to top, it his head fell right into the boards. A hit that dirty is definitely gonna leave someone on the ground.
@TeHxShwinK yeah.... it left him on the ground just long enough to ensure cooke was down the runway and then miraculously he jumped right up and played the very next shift.
@qongo6 He was just shook up. Just because it wasn't a concussion or a skull shattering hit that'd end him for the game or longer doesn't mean it didn't hurt. That seems like a normal reaction to taking an elbow to the face like that. And don't even say that he was waiting for Cooke to get off the ice before getting up because he was already climbing to his feet just as the refs were grabbing Cooke.
He's a dumbass just like the team he plays for....... but seriously as much as I hate Shittsbergh I honestly have to say he deserves every game hes gonna miss
Someone should skate over Matt Cooke"s nuts and castrate the bastard. The jerks believing headshots are a part of hockey are total idiots. What once was a beautiful game has been ruined by morons like Cooke,while the asshole Bettman gets aroused jerking himself in his pink tutu. I'd like to see Bettman on the ice taking a headshot, he would probably piss himself to death out of fright... get rid of Bettman, you get rid of cheap hockey!
I am glad mc donough is ok, cooke got ten games plus, no need for this type of player, what is learned can be unlearned, evolve with the game of go to the minors
I'm from his home town of Stirling, and I think he should have been done for entire year!!!! He is a gutless little WEASEL!!!!!! He even looks like a Rat!!!! I hope Mario has the balls to give him more, in fact he should never pull a Penguins Jersey on again!!!
This guy is a re-tard.... Bettman actually stated in an interview with NHL live during the GM meetings that they were showing videos of Matt Cooke pulling up on guys as evidence suspensions are getting through to players... Cooke makes Avery look like a saint and Claude Lemieux a former lady bing candidate...
Mario? Where's your anger towards cheap play now? I guess it doesn't apply to Penguin players. Some of the dirtiest players in the league - Cooke, Orpik, Kunitz. When will the NHL learn? Cooke is simply just a stupid idiot. He doesn't get it....he's as smart as bag of hammers. Throw him out of the NHL.
@tremulo20 - You're a f*cking tool. Lemiuex and Shero have already met with Cooke and berated him and they agree with the league's decision. Orpik? Kunitz? Your anti-Penguin bias is completely transparent, you piece of shi*t
@tremulo20 - You're a f*cking tool. Lemiuex and Shero have already met with Cooke and berated him and they agree with the league's decision. Orpik? Kunitz? Your anti-Penguin bias is completely transparent, you piece of shi*t.
Dumbass move by Cooke. We probably win the game if it wasn't for him, and now our already slim chances of catching the Flyers are gone. He's a good player, why does he have to pull this shit? I swear he has some sort of mental tick where he just has to hurt people for some reason.
if pittsburg waivs him all your teams will be trying to pick him up. if u watched 27/7 u see how great a person matt cooke is. the pens have been hanging in there without Malkin or crosby and watch now that cooke is out expect a huge slide we didnt see when crosby was out or even when both crosby and malkin were out. Ovechkin likes matt cooke he was making fun of matt cookes when bradley rocked him and that was after the knee. i didnt see any1 saying negative stuff when he kneed OV,
@ggqbc amen to that. If he'd be on the market (maybe not this week) he'd be gone in a day. And the man created his own charity for God's sake, I wish someone would comment who actually knows him and say what a nice guy he is.
The thing that pisses me off about this(I'm a Pens fan)is that Cooke is a decent player. He has averaged 30.5 points per season with the Pens and was clutch last year against the Sens in the playoffs. I just can't support the guy though. Hits like this don't have a place in this game. Love the Pens...just wish Cooke would stop doing stupid shit like this.
@LanceCampeau i don't know if you realize it but 10 years ago nobody wold have blinked if this happened, you are a moron, an the chara hit wasn't dirty
@tboneduf Well, Gordie would just get them up to defend himself before he got hit. He never put any force behind them that could really do something like this.
@bishoppx He took out many players with those elbows both to defend himself and to knock player on his ass with no warning think about it a Gordie Howe hat trick is to score get an assist and get in a fight this misconseption that Gordie was clean is a myth he was the sneakiest dirty player in the game I watched him hit a high school kid in the side of the head with an elbow in a charity game(I have seen him play several times I live in Connecticut where he played for years)
@61388 he would have gotten 2 minutes, EXACTLY, I wouldn't say suspension. The thing with matt cooke though is that he is a 1000 time repeat offender, that is why he deserves 14 games or more, the elbow itself is a 2 minute elbowing call
@NHLArchive Agreed. Chara's hit can't be lumped together with Cooke's. There was no obvious intent with Chara and I'd say stupid rink design was more at fault in that case but Cooke's intentions were pretty obvious. Cooke is also a repeat offender. even his own management has told him he'd better get his head out of his ass..
Oh no not at all, the guy was just bothering Chara in his daily business, and the brainless bigfoot just decided to bash the guy against the edge of the upper boards with no intentions...yeah....right
@NiteCrawler80 Never saw Chara lay an injury-intending hit his whole career. And that hit was unfortunate - at the wrong section of the boards at the wrong time. Pacioretti, on the other hand, laid a vicious board hit from behind just games before that injury. Boarding is and always has been a way to injure someone. I the Chara hit had been purposeful I think the league would have done something about it. But they understand play, and that was a bad play on both their parts.
@LanceCampeau wow. you must be from quebec eh? i hope millbury relives the past and comes out of the press box on thursday and beats the shit out of one of you habs fans with your own shoe.
"Campeau"... another angry biased French Canadian. I don't remember any of you calling the cops when Orpik nailed Spezza into the turnbuckle a couple years ago. Get over yourselves and stop acting like you speak from some impartial "fan of the game" perspective. You are concerned about the health your own Hab players and want to see your division rivals get punished. That's it, that's all.
Don't make assumptions about my perspective on hockey. Ask Marc Savard or Sidney Crosby how they feel about these kids of hits... do some research... Chara was humliated in Montreal by the Habs the last time the bruins played there. Anyone who studies the the events leading to the Chara hit will discover a high probability that it was 100% premeditated. Cooke is a player who tries to injure the best players instead of matching their skills. This is not hockey, its garbage.
@LanceCampeau Good hockey? You mean 15 years ago when this kind of play was heroic? you mean in the gordie howe days when elbows were appreciated and praised? I'm not saying that was good hocley but 15 years ago this was a different league, and bettman wants to come in and change it in a day. its not gonna happen.
@LanceCampeau this fucking guy HAS to be french canadian....didnt the allllll magical don cherry himself, the canadian hockey fans guru, say it was clean? skill includes being physical, go watch soccer if you want to see a contact less sport that is still technical
He deserves a remainder of season + playoff suspension. (He's a fucking 5 time or more offender now).
The NHL needs to get very strict on Intentional Headshots
50 Game First offense, full 82 game season for second offense, and lifetime ban for 3rd offense.
The NHL is weak.
The organization should also be fined if one of their players perform these hits. That way they we second think what type of players they want playing for them.
lol the pens are wicked and i dont know why chumps like "mrislandersfans" come in here and start talking about crosby u loser hes the best player in the nhl just face it. If ur gonna talk about what the video is actually about then go ahead. Cooke is retarted and he deserves too be suspended but stfu about crosby. PS islanders suck
I wonder what Super Cry baby Mario will have to say about this? Does he want to be part of the NHL with hits like this? Pitt leads the league in fighting majors and shoudl also lead the league in suspensions. Dirty cheap shot hit that cost the Pens the game
God DAMN, I know it's Cooke, but there were a few elbows last night from the Predators too agains the Wings last night? Every time players say "Oh no, it's not a problem of respect", I say bullshit. Any of these illegal hits is a player not respecting the other player and the game of hockey enough to think about what he is doing with his body before he lands the hit. And Matt Cooke is just a piece of shit.
This is just intent to injure. how can lemuix seriously give this guy the "a"? what a scumb bag. itd be different if he didnt come in with the elbow up and it went up after the hit. he had that damn thing up 5ft before the hit. what a tool.
BLIND SIDE ELBOW TO THE HEAD... this is what we want out of the game right? This is what everyone has been crying about for the last 2 years right? Now the NHL can do something about it and maake an example out of the biggest cheap shot artist in the game. No 10 game suspension, this should be a 20 game + a big fine to the owner.
@bishoppx Very true and why is Bertuzzi still in the nhl and Chara? You wan't to know why? Well, except for Cooke those two are all-stars.But Cooke definately should be banned.
@bishoppx Ok maybe it was different but Bertuzzi's case was much worst.He broke someones neck and Moore will never play in the NHL again.I still remember what Bertuzzi did like it happened yesterday.You can't really beat that.It makes me think that the maffia is in the NHL.
@CONTRAHABS I think it's well known by now that it wasn't Bertuzzi that broke his neck; it was the pile-up of all the Avalanche players that did it. Not to dismiss your argument, but this video is not about the Bertuzzi incident.
@bishoppx I think Bertuzzi's punch to his neck damaged it.It was a vicious thing to do when the other has his back towards you.I still think that yeah Cooke is a dirty player but he didn't end someones career.
@bishoppx Well... after Bertuzzi's punch he landed directly on Moore's neck pushing his head into the ice as Moore was unconscious and hit the ice hard.Just admit Bertuzzi should not have been permitted to continue playing in the league.
stupid move by Cooke, oh yeah u gets suspended of that.

Mario? Where's your anger towards cheap play now? I guess it doesn't apply to Penguin players. Some of the dirtiest players in the league - Cooke, Orpik, Kunitz. When will the NHL learn? Cooke is simply just a stupid idiot. He doesn't get it....he's as smart as bag of hammers. Throw him out of the NHL.

@tremulo20 - You're a f*cking tool. Lemiuex and Shero have already met with Cooke and berated him and they agree with the league's decision. Orpik? Kunitz? Your anti-Penguin bias is completely transparent, you piece of shi*t

Dumbass move by Cooke. We probably win the game if it wasn't for him, and now our already slim chances of catching the Flyers are gone. He's a good player, why does he have to pull this shit? I swear he has some sort of mental tick where he just has to hurt people for some reason.

Ovechkin likes matt cooke he was making fun of matt cookes when bradley rocked him and that was after the knee. i didnt see any1 saying negative stuff when he kneed OV,

The thing that pisses me off about this(I'm a Pens fan)is that Cooke is a decent player. He has averaged 30.5 points per season with the Pens and was clutch last year against the Sens in the playoffs. I just can't support the guy though. Hits like this don't have a place in this game. Love the Pens...just wish Cooke would stop doing stupid shit like this.

@61388 he would have gotten 2 minutes, EXACTLY, I wouldn't say suspension. The thing with matt cooke though is that he is a 1000 time repeat offender, that is why he deserves 14 games or more, the elbow itself is a 2 minute elbowing call

@NHLArchive Agreed. Chara's hit can't be lumped together with Cooke's. There was no obvious intent with Chara and I'd say stupid rink design was more at fault in that case but Cooke's intentions were pretty obvious. Cooke is also a repeat offender. even his own management has told him he'd better get his head out of his ass..

NiteCrawler80 11 months ago
@NiteCrawler80 Never saw Chara lay an injury-intending hit his whole career. And that hit was unfortunate - at the wrong section of the boards at the wrong time. Pacioretti, on the other hand, laid a vicious board hit from behind just games before that injury. Boarding is and always has been a way to injure someone. I the Chara hit had been purposeful I think the league would have done something about it. But they understand play, and that was a bad play on both their parts.

@marijumanji
Don't make assumptions about my perspective on hockey. Ask Marc Savard or Sidney Crosby how they feel about these kids of hits... do some research... Chara was humliated in Montreal by the Habs the last time the bruins played there. Anyone who studies the the events leading to the Chara hit will discover a high probability that it was 100% premeditated. Cooke is a player who tries to injure the best players instead of matching their skills. This is not hockey, its garbage.

Matt Cooke is a Plague to the NHL.
He deserves a remainder of season + playoff suspension. (He's a fucking 5 time or more offender now).
The NHL needs to get very strict on Intentional Headshots
50 Game First offense, full 82 game season for second offense, and lifetime ban for 3rd offense.
The NHL is weak.
The organization should also be fined if one of their players perform these hits. That way they we second think what type of players they want playing for them.
Get Cooke out of the NHL!

Any of these illegal hits is a player not respecting the other player and the game of hockey enough to think about what he is doing with his body before he lands the hit. And Matt Cooke is just a piece of shit.
