Do you think Cooke's check was clean? Do you think it is honorable to continue fighting when a player goes down on their back on the ice (there is a code-even in hockey)? Do you think that Bergeron had a "fighting chance" (pardon the pun) against Mongo Malkin (who by the way is also a very skilled player)?

Refute your challenge? Ummm... look at the game tape, there's your proof.
Prove Malkin keep trying to fight once they were down. Looked like Bergeron was doing a pretty good job also.
No Cooke's hit wasn't clean but neither was the hit on Neil. That was Cooke's first major in 2 years, geez. AND if he wanted to seriously injure the guy he certainly could have, (2 years ago he would have tried).
I know Joe, you'll read this with an open mind...
His account:
"I chipped the puck in [to the offensive zone] early, just after [crossing] the red line," he said. "I had quite a bit of interference from [Boston defenseman Torey] Krug, which pushed me inside.
"After I get by him, I look up. I see [McQuaid's] right shoulder, and he looks me right in the eyes. I think at the last minute, he goes to make a reverse with the puck. I was committed to hit him. I don't drive him through the boards. I make contact. I think it's a penalty, but I don't think it's an ejection or a suspension. But that's my opinion."
The black and yellow colored glasses you are viewing the series thru sure are working well
