hahaha...funny stuff! I like the laughter on the Penguins bench as Johnson makes his exit! Glass Jaw DiPietro takes this loss!

Once again, we have 5 to 6 douchebags casting moronic votes, in this case, for DiPietro/draw. What a joke. As for anyone trying to defend Matt Cooke on this play, watch the portion of the video at 1:20. He clearly is the one that changes direction and makes contact with DiPietro. Just because he was trying to take the shortest route to the puck doesnt give him the right to go through the goalie.

Awesome!!! As goalie fights go, this KO has to be rated a 10.

Dipietro definitely was frustared and initiated the contact with cooked. I'm not a fan of goalie fights, normally, but in this case Johnson did what he needed to do. He showed a lot of class after the knockdown, and seemed concerned for DiPietro...

Awesome! TKO win Johnson.

@ b.t.wilson - Would agree with you under one condition. DiPietro needed to get the hell back in his crease. I'm so sick of goalies anyways because they never, and I'm talking about any of them even from the Pens who I root for, constantly dive and I still have never seen a diving call on a goalie. I'm sure it's been called somewhere but I'd like someone to point me to that scoresheet.

DP SUCKS!

How is this even on here if neither goalie got a fighting major? That would mean it's not even a fight.

Either way ricky boy is a tard.

It cost Johnson a shut-out ... but what a way to go ... 1-punch TKO.

DiPietro, cocky BU kid, is finally healthy and he goes looking for this? Just think, the Isle's still have 10 years left on that $67M contract ... bet they'd like to walk away from that one.

DiPietro has always been a hot-head, he initiated w/ Matt Cook, got Brent Johnson and received a 1-punch beat down!

Nice commentary on NHL Network recap; "Johnson put down DiPietro; quickly"!

DiP initiated it against Cooke & Brent responded. What a shame that he got injured and Cooke did not.

As clear-cut as it gets.

"My name is Brent Johnson, I'd like to introduce you to my two friends. My fist and the ice."

DP should be ashamed of himself.

Smiling like an idiot right until Johnson hands him his lunch with a beauty of a left.
