When Matt Cooke clipped skates with Alex Ovechkin

Via Caps Insider:
"I just tracked the puck and he tried to cut back on me," Cooke said. "We clipped skates."
Said Bylsma: "I didn't think much contact was made. Maybe their skates get wound up together.
Yeah.

Cooke is a clown and always has been. Glad to see the boys back on their game and shutout those flightless birds. Good day to have both teams from Pittsburgh lose. Life is good -- at least for those of us that like teams that win.

Don't expect this piece of garbage to be fined or suspended. Penguins get applauded for their cheap shots. Ovechkin gets suspended for his clean ones.

Caps need a player like Cooke. Terrible shame they traded one to get DJ King

No team in the league needs a player like Cooke.

Maybe the new fans don't remember, but Cooke was a Cap for a year.

@lapointe20 Try three months, a far cry from "one year."
For the record, 17 games in the Regular Season, and only 7 in the playoffs in 2008.

I doubt that someone who's apparently harboring bitterness over losing Stefan Della Rovere would be a new/bandwagon fan
