If you haven't heard already, Matt Cooke is up to his old tricks. He pretty viciously took out young defenseman Tyson Barrie with a knee-on-knee hit last night. Barrie tore his MCL and will be out 4-6 weeks, effectively ending his playoff run. The department of player safety is right on top of it.
Minnesota Wild forward Matt Cooke has been offered an in-person hearing for kneeing Colorado Avalanche defenseman Tyson Barrie. Details TBD.

I've spoken about my thoughts on the human garbage that is Matt Cooke before. Fuck that guy. Now where was I just reading that he had a clean record the last three years? Hmmm, I wonder.
Anyways, it's gameday.
What's on tap, y'all?
