I think a lot of NHL fans were looking forward to tonights game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Boston Bruins. Last time the two teams met, we saw Matt Cooke cheap shot Marc Savard giving him a concussion. Savard is now out the remainder of the season.
Well it certainly didn’t take long for the Bruins to try to get revenge. Not even two minutes into the game, on Cooke’s first shift, he and Shawn Thornton dropped the gloves. Thornton definitely got the best of Cooke, which I’m glad to see. He clearly showed zero respect for Cooke as he continued to throw punches even after Cooke was down and the refs attempted to restrain him.
It will be interesting to see how the rest of the game plays out. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some heavy hits on Sidney Crosby, or even another fight involving Cooke.
Good decision to out Savard from remainder of the season.
That’s a classy thing to say
