[Steerpike]

What he did wasn't nearly Bertuzzi tier but I'm curious.

Wild fan coming in peace. I think he will be booed in Denver from here on out for his knee to knee hit on Barrie. Maybe not every time he touches the puck as time goes on. If was another Wild player that made the hit the projected vitriol would be shorter lived. This is Matt Cooke though. His dirty play rap sheet is extensive. I'm sure there are even some long memoried Av fans that recall some of his antics in a Canuck sweater. I'll say that as a Wild fan I'm not exactly brimming with pride he's on my team, even if he is a good hockey player.

Booing players every time they touch the puck is childish and annoying.

Doesn't mean it won't happen.

Doesn't it lose its meaning if you only boo them occasionally? I think Cooke deserves a round of boos for the season at least personally, other teams boo for far less than what Cooke did. Besides, he'll be playing 4th line minutes probably, easier for the crowd to sustain it for 6-8 minutes a game.

no, people in Pepsi Center are too busy doing their taxes and reading quietly.

 

[innocuous octopus]

rob blake was booed, so...

 

[The Shermanator]

He won the series with an illegal flying knee so yes, yes he should.

I just hope Iggy lives up to his wild killing days and also gets a gordie Hat trick fighting Cooke.

I wouldn't exactly put it like that, sounds like a Dater-ism.

Maybe for the first game but the people of Denver will forget quick.

Damn right, and he should. Yes it childish but the guy is a child and deserves every last second of that. Plus I hope Bordeleau introduces his fist to Cooke's face multiple times.

That would be awesome if on the first game Iggy does like Roy did last year in the first game and take on Cook to pass a message to the team "hey guy, I have your backs" and to Cook "we are not going to take this crap from you this year".

Cooke is too much of a gutless coward to fight someone like Bordy. He will only fight smaller people usually. But I am sure of someone like Iginla challenges him he might, I just hope he ends up like he did when he fought Evander Kane.

 

[Foppa2118]

This is assuming he ever touches the puck.

 

[Alex Jones]

Maybe not every time he touches the puck, but he will get booed throughout the game.

He will fight McLeod. That is cookes most sensible move.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

I hope somebody knocks the crap out of Cooke every time they play.

I don't think he would even fight Cody. Cooke doesn't like to fight people who can fight, if you look at his history, its people who are skilled rather than grinders and enforcers. He also isn't a good fighter, he lost to Ilya Kovalchuk. The players on the Avs he would fight is someone like Landy, ROR or McGinn, which is why he is a gutless coward.

I would prefer him to fight cody or bordy, but I don't think cooke will be a willing partner, bad things or as I see it good things happen when he fights players who can fight.

I think it's a bit childish when you boo opposing teams' star players just because they are the opposing teams' star players, but for players who have done something that deserves hatred from a fanbase, I'm totally ok with it.

 

[nightonthesun]

It's one of many parts to a burgeoning rivalry w/Minny, which is entertaining. So, hey, why not. It's immature I guess, but what building wouldn't boo Matt Cooke for a dirty knee in the playoffs?

I don't really know where I stand on fighting, but since it's still here, someone'll probably do it, and I will like it.

 

[Avs_19]

He's a ***** so he isn't fighting unless it's against a skill player who usually doesn't fight, that's what Cooke does.

He took out Barrie, shot the puck at EJ after the whistle, snuck in a slash on Landeskog's hand/wrist, and tried to elbow MacKinnon in the head. That's four of our best players and he did that in a span of three games. We should be glad Duchene didn't return early because you know his injured knee would have been a target and Cooke might have done some real damage there.

If Roy tries to go with his "be calm and don't retaliate" approach, I hope McLeod and/or Bordeleau just ignore him.

 

[SB]

Didn't they boo Parise? so for sure they'll boo Cooke

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

I wouldn't be against Bordeleau hitting him like a transport truck in a clean way.

 

[landy92mack29]

hope McLeod/bordeleau beats the crap out of cooke then stuart destroys him into the boards

I'll be seeing my first ever NHL game at the home opener against Minny and one of the things i'm most excited for is to boo the crap out of Cooke
