Theo Peckham vs Matt Cooke

Good job by the rookie to step up a la Mike Keane.

Three cheers for the rookie! I agree with some of the reviews though, a good clean hit apparently isn't allowed anymore. I always loved the honour factor when someone really got laid out something fierce, but the fact that you can't give a beautiful open ice hit anymore without having to drop the gloves is a little silly.

How did Cooke not get a major?? anyway, W to Peckham

This was not a fight.

Glad to see Matt Cooke gone from Vancouver gutless puke!

Cooke out head hunting (clean hits at least) and peckham used the back of his head for target practice. This peckham guy could make for a nasty blue liner in the future. Definatly a "W".

I thoroughly enjoyed that. I still harbor ill feelings against Cooke after his garbage when he played with the Nucks, and love nothing more than watching the back of his skull get pounded in. (maybe I exagerated a bit, but it was still good) WIN Peckerham (sounds dirty...)

How the hell is Cooke not going to be assessed a fighting major?!?!? He dropped gloves didn't he? He threw one punch at the end didn't he? Frickin zebras are special ed students sometimes.

Awful call by the refs. Just because you get your butt whooped doesn't mean you don't get a fighting major. He dropped the gloves, just got dominated by Peckham.

bubbaburgh, you don't know much about Matt Cooke, do you?

The word "cowardly" is typically used to refer to him, not who happens to be attacking him at any given time!....

god I hate cooke, what a PU$$Y.

Crap call by the refs here, Cooke had his gloves off, he just couldn't get any punches off.
Upon second review Cooke landed a punch when the linseman got in, no way he shouldn't get 5 as well.

Peckham, 5 minutes for giving.

Cooke, 5 minutes for receiving.

Finally someone teaches matt cooke a lesson and heshould be beaten up more often, such a cheap skate.

how cooke gets off with just a roughing is beyond me. although, i wouldnt even call his hugging and clinging even roughing, more of a 'loving'. peckham with the clear win.
