Matt Cooke will not be suspended for his knee to knee hit on Eric Cole during game one of the Eastern Conference final. I have to admit that I am not a fan of Matt Cooke and his antics and this hit is a lot worse than the Ovechkin hit on Gonchar. In my opinion it looks more malicious. If we have learned anything during the Stanley Cup playoffs is that the league office is very inconsistent.
NHL decides not to suspend Penguins winger Cooke
Pittsburgh--- Penguins left winger Matt Cooke will not be suspended for a knee-on-knee hit on Carolina forward Erik Cole during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference final Monday at Mellon Arena.
It was not immediately known if Cooke will be fined by the National Hockey League office.
Cole was injured on the hit, which occurred during the third period, and played sparingly after that.
Neither he nor teammate Tuomo Ruutu, who also was injured Monday, participated in Carolina's practice today. Hurricanes Coach Paul Maurice said their status for Game 2tomorrow night has not been determined.
