You can call it a cheap shot, blind shot, a late hit; you can call it what you want and it should’ve been a suspension as far as I’m concerned. It’s unbelievable that it’s not a suspension. What it did, it gave meat to everybody that’s against the National Hockey League—this’ll be the poster boy…[while showing clips of controversial hits by Cooke over the years] You think he’d do this stuff against [Wayne] Gretzky, if [Dave] Semenko was there? Do you think he’d do this against [Steve] Yzerman if [Bob] Probert was there? No, that’s what I’m trying to tell you, he wouldn’t do that stuff.
