MATT COOKE RUMORS & GOSSIP

Remaking Burrows' image

Last season a major Canadian Newspaper wrote an opinion article that tried to remake Matt Cooke image last year after he was suspended by the National Hockey League Department of Player Safety for the rest of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I guess we could say this article some similar to that one. Enter Alex Burrows, while me might be a "great" hockey player statically...

STATS: Matt Cooke and Sidney Crosby

With the return of Sidney Crosby came a goal explosion by Matt Cooke, who persevered through not trying to injure people this season. Upon Sid's return, Cooke was placed on Crosby's wing and told to go out and do ****. And he has done ****. Against the Rangers and Devils, Matt Cooke registered two 2-goal games back-to-back. So we headed to the Elias Sports Bureau...

Video: Matt Cooke’s 3-On-5 Shorthanded Goal

3 on 5 shorthanded goals are extremely rare in hockey.  Only 10 of them have occurred since 2006.  Pittsburgh’s Matt Cooke added one to the record books on Saturday afternoon. Cooke’s goal gave the Penguins a 3-2 lead over the Philadelphia Flyers late in the 2nd period.  It was an impressive bit of stick work by Cooke to get the puck past Ilya Bryzgalov. Thanks to CBS for the video.

(Video) Matt Cooke is at it again.

It will be interesting to see how long Matt Cooke gets for his latest act of of stupidity. For the most part Cooke had played it straight up this season, only drawing only 16 penalty minutes in 49 games and had for the most part stayed clear of the dirty play until his recent slew foot on Brad Richards on 1/19/2012. If you need to have your memory refreshed on the type of hockey...

Hitting Matt Cooke in the Head is Perfectly Fine

There will be no hearing for John Carlson, despite his head shot on Matt Cooke yesterday. From the Washington Times: Look at the replay, especially in slow motion, and it's clear John Carlson caught Matt Cooke's head with his arm. It was late in the Capitals' 2-1 loss to the Penguins, and many thought it could lead to a suspension or maybe just a fine. But...

Changed man? Penguins’ Matt Cooke just had his cleanest October

Matt Cooke's self-professed reform as a reckless, injurious player was met with healthy skepticism over the summer; despite the way the Pittsburgh Penguins winger bared his personal pain over his wife's illness in early 2011, and offered proclamations like this: "I've got this chance, and I need to look at it as an opportunity to show everybody that I can change...
