Penguins Need to Showcase Cooke Against Senators
The Ottawa Senators will tell you that they are going to worry about playing playoff hockey and not Pittsburgh Penguins forward Matt Cooke. They will say all of the right things about being focused and not letting one person get to them. I’m not buying it. Prior to the last meeting between the Penguins and [...]
Matt Cooke REALLY Wants To Get Off The Ice
((HT: Sportsnet/ROOT Sports/NHL))
The Islanders-Pens series is, surprisingly, good television...
But for those of us who thought it was going to be four-and-out for fantasy purposes, it's turning into a bit of a headache...
And that's what Matt Cooke's job is for the Penguins...
But when he's not let off the ice... he takes matters into his own hands and...
Ottawa Sun reporter argues with Penguins’ Matt Cooke over genitalia
Ed Note: This article appears courtesy Bloguin's national NHL blog Puck Drunk Love.
On Monday evening, the Pittsburgh Penguins traveled to Scotiabank Place to take on the Ottawa Senators in their first trip to the Canadian capital since Erik Karlsson’s Achilles tendon was partially severed by Cooke's skate. While the spotlight should’ve been on the Penguins’ 3-1...
Dingle, dangle, dork: Cooke, Keith offer impolite remarks
A pair of gender-related comments have me shaking my head this morning, I suppose proving that hockey is an equal-opportunity sport when it comes to placing one's feet in one's mouth (perhaps on both sides of the digital voice recorder).
When Matt Cooke played in the Pittsburgh Penguins' 3-1 win over Ottawa, visiting Canada's capital for the first time since accidentally...
Penguins Matt Cooke is Public Enemy #1 Today in Ottawa
Matt Cooke has deserved his time spent as public enemy number one in many cities over the years. It’s not even debatable. He has done a few things that are going to keep him from ever receiving the hockey equivalent of saint hood, or the Lady Byng award. The entire city of Ottawa has spent the last two months trying to prove that Cooke did something based entirely on Cooke’s...
Boston announcer compares Matt Cooke to Sirhan Sirhan
We as sports fans are passionate, sometimes overly. Go on any message board or large commenting section about a controversial topic and you will observe anonymous individuals making statements that are more insulting and callous than they are creative. However, this is not something you expect from a commentator or play-by-play man in a sport. Though they may have the same type of...
Jack Edwards blast Matt Cooke and then apologizes for it; also, Cooke hit on Adam McQuaid
So, I ask you. What is wrong with Jack Edward's comments? "Nominating Cooke for the Masterton is about the equivalent of nominating Sirhan Sirhan as the prisoner of the year," Edwards said.
Personally, I don't have a problem with those comments. Cooke is a reckless, dirty and dangerous player, who is responsible for many random, bush league acts on the ice over...
Claude Julien Criticizes Matt Cooke’s ‘Typical’ Hit on Adam McQuaid, Calls It ‘Cheap Shot’
BOSTON — The Bruins are obviously no fans of Pittsburgh Penguins forward Matt Cooke, and they aren’t afraid to let anyone know about it apparently.
Cooke was in the middle of things again Saturday night when he delivered a questionable hit to Boston defenseman Adam McQuaid during the second period of Pittsburgh’s 3-2 win over the B’s.
Bruins coach Claude Julien was clearly...
Jack Edwards Sounds Off On Matt Cooke, Compares Him To A Murderer
Jack Edwards has never been one to stifle his emotions, but he may have gone a little too far when talking about the Peguins’ Matt Cooke on Saturday afternoon. During Saturday’s Bruins-Pens game, Edwards discussed the Pittsburgh media nominating Cooke for last season’s Masterton Award, given to the player who shows dedication and perseverance to hockey, and stated it was...
Jack Edwards compares Matt Cooke to Sirhan Sirhan
Emotions were running high following a moving pregame ceremony as the Boston Bruins hosted the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday afternoon, just hours after an extensive manhunt for one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects concluded.
Unfortunately, this emotion apparently got the best of NESN announcer Jack Edwards as he made an inappropriate (and bizarre) comparison between...
