There are still some complaining fans. This is all from the same guy in the comments on nhl.com:
About Suter's Penalty:
"Typical stupid Avs fan. Yeah the refs were really out to help the Wild, which is why Suter got called on a make up penalty right at the end there"
"He never crosschecked him, he reached out and pushed him with one hand. His stick didn't hit him. I'm pretty sure that is why the refs allowed Suter to open the box door and talk to them because he wanted to know what happened."
And my personal favourite:
"The refs wanted MacKinnon to get another point, and if Parenteau had scored the Wild would have replaced the goalie."

Not a fan of reading this
Cooke is the type of player to go out and potentially do something damaging...

Not worried about it. Cooke hasn't done anything stupid in a while. Also, stick Mac with OReilly and let them decide who to stop: Mac, Oreilly, and McGinn or Stastny and Landeskog.

This fella is pure gold
Yeah, the amount of butt-hurt coming out of that guy is ridiculous.
However, I must contend. We must heed Roy's words from earlier in the season and "Stay 'umble". We have a 2-0 lead right now, but the series isn't over. It would be REALLY nice for them to go into Minnesota tomorrow night and get that first game at Minnesota. Really take it to them and continue playing their game.
Only news on goaltenders right now is it's rumored that Kuemper will take over, but nothing is confirmed right now.

He was able to catch Karlsson
I doubt he goes full Pejorative Slur but it is Cooke.
I hate Cooke, but I don't blame him for Karlsson's injury.

I hate Corsi relative, it's so misleading like you say. I know it's a way to compare teammates but I'm not blind and I prefer to look at the raw Corsi for/against if I want to compare teammates. It makes sense that Stastny's line didn't dominate Corsi because they were playing Minnesota's top line. I wouldn't expect anyone's top line to get shut out entirely. It's interesting to me to see who has the best Corsi game each time. Game 1 it was actually MacKinnon and Guenin (!), this time O'Reilly and McGinn. So It does seem like our second line, is getting an advantage.

Cooke is human garbage and nothing should be put past him. He doesn't deserve any benefit of the doubt just because he's managed to not be a complete sociopath for a little while.

The point was he caught one of the most elusive and fluid skaters in the world. To think he can't hit Mack is just wishful thinking. I think Robin was kidding tho.

He hasn't sent anyone into an early retirement in a while. He does stupid things on a nightly basis. The Avs players and you might not be worried but Cooke plays with absolutely no regard for any other player on the ice. He has no moral, no code.

Cooke is a non factor. Unless Koivu and Parise play better, this will be a short series for the wild.
I get the impression yeo is dwelling way too much on the matchups, which will favour Roy because the avs will be able to dictate how often Minnesota's top players play.

Great idea. Lando and Stastny are dangerous together even without Mack. Put Mack on a different line and let them focus on him, leave the big line to still be dangerous.

Could be some head games being played by Yeo (or attempted head games).
He must know that everyone in the league realizes that Cooke has a certain reputation and by letting it leak that he may be tasked with "controlling MacKinnon" he might be hoping that Roy changes things up, thinks of breaking up the Lando-Stastny-MacKinnon line.
I know throughout the year Roy seemed to really rein in Bordeleau and McLeod (and in the end Malone), but I hope that if Cooke tries or does something stupid that he allows McLeod or Malone or even Bordeleau to step in and stick up for their teammate.

It's absolutely this. Standard tactics aren't going to slow down MacKinnon. He'll just make the quick pass to his linemates, or just battle through it.
Their only hope is to get him distracted, and frustrated by sicking their troll on him. Hope Nate doesn't get caught up in the after the whistle stuff and keeps his feet moving on the ice. He'll embarrass Cooke by just making him look silly if he focuses on hockey, and just playing between the whistles.

I'm not worried about hockey plays, it's the dirty stuff Cooke does that you have to be concerned about.

All it takes is him pulling a Backes. MacKinnon reverse hits him, Cooke slew foots him, jumps on top of him and pounds away. I hope Roy likes enough of his Black Aces that he wouldn't mind losing Bords or McLeod in the event they need to send Cooke a message.
