Any self-respecting teammate of Marc Savard would have dropped whatever they were doing and gone right after Cooke, instigator penalty be damned.

Lucic was out there and pushed Cooke

but Lucic is also nursing a broken beak from Colton Orr. That’d be about the only injury that would stop me from fighting over a cheap shot. Them noses hurt like hell and when you well up you can’t see shit.

Still someone should have engaged Cooke, even if it had to be the goalie or stick boy. Long way from the days of the Big Bad Bruins. What a shame.

The Wheel of Discipline will spin...

… and since Cooke plays for the Sid Crosby All-Stars, he’ll get one game at most.

In case you missed it

Orr Lucic fight and Grapes calling Lucic a puss for dis-engaging. Gotta go against Cherry on this one, you can’t fight with a broken beak.

Wow

I think we could post that Bird Watchers Anonymous entry here with the names changed and almost everyone could agree with it.

Last night was rough.

It takes a lot to get Timmy riled up like that, and he was pretty riled.

I was too doped up on meds to care, really, except I kept thinking how hysterical it was that Manny got a shutout against a team that cut him. Karma.

I spent an hour searching for the clip from the movie accepted, where the guy is rushing for a frat, he go goes up to the head frat guy and shouts, “LEGACY!!!!!” and goes in for the high.

oh well… the thought was there.

I was rooting for Inglourious as well.....

but Im happy The Hurt Locker won……

as long as Avacrap didnt…….the Academy needs to quit kissing Camerons ass……Titanic sucked balls and no way was it Oscar worthy but they bricked that one…this makes up for that……

I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......
