The Scum of the NHL Strikes Again

So can someone tell me why they even let Matt Cooke play in the NHL? Better yet, since Penguins owner Mario Lemieux has actively spoken out about getting rid of these cheap shots in modern-day hockey -- why does he still have Cooke on his team? Mario is a pretty big legend in the NHL, right? One of the best to ever lace up the skates. Well here's the truth. Matt Cooke is higher up on the scumbag depth chart than Lemieux is on the legends depth chart. Fact. When you talk about disgraces of this league, the barbaric players who give the league its poor image -- you're looking at the biggest catalyst right here. Sure, the Boston fans have an additional vendetta. But it's rightfully so, I'd say. The bastard basically ended the career of our once-best point scorer. Oh, and then he tried to justify it and say that it wasn't even dirty. If this was a guy with a clean record, maybe I would give it half a second of thought. But Cooke has been and always will be the scum of the league, and it's a little bit alarming that the league is so afraid to take serious action against him. What ever happened to a pros-versus-cons analysis? This man brings nothing positive to your league and brings everything negative about your league to the table. Wake up and smell the roses, boys.
