Multiply 365 Day 80 - Fallout

For those of you that read yesterday's entry, this is the followup.  For those that didn't, go back there then come back here.  It wasn't so much a matter of will Matt Cooke get suspended after his antics in yesterday's Penguins-Rangers game, but really just a matter of how long.    And it did not take long for the NHL to respond, suspending Cooke for the remainder of the season (10 games) and the first round of the NHL playoffs (best of seven series), so the suspension could be anywhere from 14 to 17 games.  The hit to Matt Cooke's pocketbook will be $219,512.20.  And it doesn't sound like the organization really has Cooke's back on this one, at least after reading the statement from the Penguins general manager Ray Shero

"The suspension is warranted because that's exactly the kind of hit we're trying to get out of the game."  "Head shots have no place in hockey." 

Depending on the Penguins ability to move past the first round of the playoffs, with those odds being a coin flip with the current roster (the odds improve a little if Sidney Crosby is skating and playing again, but that has yet to be determined)  the following video might be the last thing you see Matt Cooke do in a Pengiuins uniform.
