Yeo is Col Jessup in this scenario. He ordered the code red! He turned his guys loose!

I remember hearing him say something similar. But what I read into is Yeo saying he wants Cooke to get more involved. And then the next game Cooke does get involved in typical Cooke fashion.

For real. Yeo had nothing to do with Cooke's actions. I can't believe this is even being suggested.

Not really. You're talking about direct proof.
What's also indisputable is that Yeo might be coaching for his job...so there's motivation.
What's also indisputable is that an effort was made to get his pit bull more involved in the series.
Another act of desperation was starting Heatley.
Yeo was panicking.
There's not direct proof in the form of a signed document by Yeo and Cooke or a tape recorded conversation but there is nexxus when you look at the circumstances.
People don't seem to understand that court cases have been tried and won with only circumstancial (ie no direct proof) evidence. I keep seeing comments that are oblivious to this.
Last year the Wild lost to the Blackhawks, which is another fast team. It's additionally suspicious that they then go out and acquire Cooke in the offseason. So here they are, back against the wall again, only this year they have, what they feel, is a tool for the job.

Avs coach Patrick Roy knows Wild counterpart Mike Yeo will lean hard on Suter, the Wild’s No. 1 defenseman. There’s no way around that, so Roy said it’s important for the Avalanche to make those minutes hard for Suter.
“We’re going to have to finish every check we can on him,†Roy said. “It’s very simple. If he plays in our end, he might play 45 minutes. But if we play in their end and we finish our checks, we force him to battle when we’re going to the net, he needs to push guys around, I mean, we want him to play big minutes.
“He’s a special player, let’s not kid ourselves. We’re going to have to force im to play big minutes.â€
As much as this incident pissed me off - I'm pretty sure Yeo didn't order an attack on Barrie, or anyone else for that matter.
As who to blame - I blame the NHL for allowing this ******-bag to remain in the league, and blame the entire Minnesota organization for employing Cooke to begin with. Even though his play on the ice has merit without all the extra curricular stuff his rap sheet is long and distinguished.
He should not be in the NHL. Period.

What makes you so sure?...just because?
If you're with Pittsburgh when he's there, you're either disgusted by what he does and fed up or you love it. Extremely doubtful there are shades of gray. If you were disgusted and fed up with him, doubtful you want to be around him ever again. If, however, you loved his game in Pittsburgh, you do things like convince your GM to give him a 3 year contract.
Yeah, just because. Yeo doesn't seem like that sort of person. Could be wrong, I guess.

Wasn't Cooke's hearing scheduled for 10:30am ET, or am I not remembering correctly?
They usually release the decision pretty soon after the hearing? I hope this doesn't mean they actually bought whatever excuse he's made, and are reconsidering the length.

Some BS about how he meant to hit him with the shoulder. Just seems like it's taking a bit longer than usual after they have the meeting.

It usually takes a few hours after the meeting ends to determine the suspension... and produce those high quality videos.

Maybe I'm just selectively remembering the times it came out pretty soon after. I know that's happened a few times. That's what's making me more nervous. I think when it takes time after, that means they are discussing it again based on what the player said.
Then again, Quintal may be handling things a little differently so who knows.

They have to discuss it based on what the player says. It may not affect the decision much but that is why they give the players these hearings. Otherwise they would just announce the suspension as soon as it's reviewed.

The suspension announcements tend to happen between noon and 1PM MST... some have been as late as 3:00-3:30.

I don't keep regular track so maybe. I know there has been times I've woken up to hear the suspension news, or word has come out in the evening.
I think that might just be when their media people are woking and they upload the videos. They're right on that schedule now though, so hopefully it's soon and we can start thinking about the game.
