noooooo!

Replay looking like Matt Cooke stepped on the back of his leg (intentionally considering rep?) so probably cut calf/achilles area

 

[Johnny Hanson]

Sens board officially on suicide watch

Looked like ankle on the replay.

 

[MainDotC]

Couldn't see anything dirty by Cooke - will look forward to a replay.

Looked a lot like Cooke's skate cut his Achilles. Got to hope it's not that. It would long-term obviously.

Other than stomping his foot down in the back of karlssons leg...

OTT's Erik Karlsson just left game vs PIT with possible skate cut to back of left leg. Matt Cooke's skate blade below calf but above heel.

 

[Johnny Hanson]

Hopefully just a cut. Knee would be career threatening

 

[Bob Kudelski]

Cooke stomped his Achilles. Great.

Didn't see it but I hope that's not the case. Any cut/damaged achilles is never good.

Leafs fan, but Erik Karlsson is easily my favourite player in the league. Seriously hope its nothing serious.

 

[Section ThirtyOne]

God damn it.

 

[GK]

This is not good at all.

 

[Dionysus]

Yikes. Could be devastating.

Bieksa's had two skate cuts on his legs... 20+ games each time. Here's hoping he's OK and it's not too deep. Time to get everyone in the league wearing the cut resistant socks Bieksa is wearing now...

As far as Cooke goes, he's a **** for sure BUT it looked like he was trying to kick/press Karlsson's foot against the boards. I think only Pronger tries to step on people intentionally...

If it is a cut calf or achilles i will go *******

 

[derriko]

Watched on my dvr 5 times. Cooks left foot went up on the hit and was turned sideways right into the back of Erik's left leg into the meatiest part of your calve. Probably just a cut, but could be wrose

 

[Flamingo]

Hopefully just a cut. Knee would be career threatening

OTOH, knee injury would vault him to lofty Bobby Orr-like lore.

 

[Patvolcom65]

Karlsson Norris out....MacKinnon here we come...I guess.

 

[albator71]

I'm scared!!!!

 

[Micklebot]

I've got my noose... anyone have something sturdy to tie it too? Lets put this short season out of its misery.

First Cowen, then Spezza, now Karlsson. Who's next?

 

[OgieO]

My goodness. That really looks like a cut achilies.

 

[Lehner]

WHy the hell is Cooke stompin on his leg???
