I don't think he was deliberately trying to hit the guy in the head.
It's hard to imagine how the elbow to the head could have been more intentional.

because hockey doesn't exist in the south?
He tried to nonchalantly raise his elbow and give him a shot with it. He was trying to make it seem like it wasn't deliberate.
It wasn't a shoulder check- he didn't lead with his shoulder. He wasn't trying to just bump him. He raised his arm and elbowed the guy in the head while trying to make it look innocent by not looking directly at Umberger during the play.
What a jackass.
You need to take your homer-glasses off.![]()
The NHL has fined Nashville Predators forward Patric Hornqvist $2,500 but decided not to suspend him for his elbow to the head of Boston Bruins rookie forward Tyler Seguin in Thursday night's game.
The Predators announced the league's decision via its official Twitter feed.
Hornqvist got a five-minute major for elbowing and a game misconduct. Seguin stayed in the game.
The fine was the maximum allowed via supplemental discipline in the league's collective bargaining agreement.
So much for consistency. If Marchand gets 2 games, I don't see how this guy escapes with nothing more than a petty fine.

I bet you paint your face blue and white when yougo to Leaf gameswatch the Leafs on TV.

Even with crappy refs, a bunch of whiny little bruins, some of the best acting I've seen in a long time, and being short-handed we still managed to beat the Bruins.
I wouldn't want them to hurt our new defensive star![]()
So when I read a blog today saying that new concussion protocol requires a player to go into a nice quiet room for 15 minutes, he was half kidding. Sadly he wasn't-
Am I the only one who finds this insulting ? How does this help? Why the hell wasn't this done before? Basically giving a guy a timeout in the corner and turning off the lights and putting him in a room alone only helps after the fact-we need to address the acts.
Well it looks like Cooke is going to be the talk again. I didn't see the game tho.
Looked like an " Intent to Injure" to me. What do you think? 10 games?
He is a freak'n punk...

I stopped caring about hockey after their strike. Just couldn't get back into it

I am thinking more like the Pens are going to have to get rid of him. I like Cooke but he should know better. Its like he has the devil on his shoulder and cant help him self.
