I'll take the opportunity to post these again so others can see them.

I just watched the short recap of the Columbus game on the nhl.com NHL Tonight highlights, and I must say, I wish I could've seen the game.

Cooke suspended 7 games for his hit on Barrie. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=716017&navid=nhl:topheads

This is kind of sad. The news I'm anticipating most today is how the league handles Cooke.

I can't stand Cooke honestly, and I said something last night about him playing another game against Colorado just so McCloud to dish out some equal justice, but I really don't believe Roy would have any of his players take out someone from Minnesota, nor would he tolerate it. I may be seeing this from a skewed perspective, but it seemed to me like the Wild were going out of their way to try and hurt Avalanche players last night. They were definitely playing more physical, (which they need to do to neutralize Colorado's speed) but, with the exception of Cooke, I didn't see any intent to cause injuries. The hit on Beniot really looked like more than just a good hit. They even mentioned it on TSN that it appeared there was an intent to injure and/or was intentionally more violent than necessary.

I always liked this simple draft hat.

What's weird, I'm more disappointed with the Blue Jackets loss than I am the Avalanche.

That's a bit of an overreaction. I remember Cooke from his days in Vancouver, he's always been this way. He has a history, and the commentator even mentioned the play being typical of Cooke's career. On your planet, a history of scummy behavior is a reason to go easier on someone? Not my point. I was referring to the 'suspend him for a million years' part of the reply. Minnesota as a team is playing with a severe lack of class right now. They have now taken out three Avalanche players. Barrie, Beniot & Bordeleau, all with dirty play.

Matt Cooke is a total assbag. He just took out Barrie with a dirty shot to his knee.

Now six points for the rook. I will say I was disappointed when they didn't draft Jones first overall... now I can say that Sakic and Roy (among others) definitely knew what they were doing.

MacKinnon has 5 points in just over five periods of playoff hockey.

I had nothing against them until this year. From what I've seen this year, they aren't a 'clean' team, and it shows. An aside; I hate what Reebok did to the Avs jerseys, and the fact that they've kept them that way. That's why I refuse to buy a new Avs jersey. I'll just get an old one customized with a new guys name & number, because really, that look was one of the best in the league, and now they're bottom five.
