Ahead of tonight's game between the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins -- the two team's first meeting since the Pens' Matt Cooke decided to put Bruins forward Marc Savard out of commission with a blindsided head shot -- a Boston newspaper has issued a challenge of sorts.
The Boston Herald is calling for someone on the B's to step up and teach Cooke a lesson, with the help of the above poster. Writer Stephen Harris saying if NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell won't do anything, than the team needs to. It all rings a tad familiar doesn't it?
Remember 2004? When Steve Moore injured Canucks captain Mats Naslund with a head check, and no penalty was called on the play? Well, we all know where that led. Bruins players certainly remember, as Harris points out, "Fully cognizant of the trouble then-Canuck Brad May got in for his
pre-game threats of revenge against Colorado’s Steve Moore in the
infamous 2004 situation that ended in Moore’s career-ending injuries -
and the far greater problems Todd Bertuzzi faced and still faces for
his assault on Moore - B’s players have chosen their words very
carefully in recent days."
We'll just have to wait and see if, with Campbell at the game, the decision not to suspend Cooke will come back to haunt the league.
hopefully they retire him
