I just want to see the Red Wings stop blowing some 2 goals leads. Good grief.

I watched replays and I have concluded that it was an accident. I'm far from a fan of the Penguins, but I'll give Matt Cooke credit for legitimately cleaning up his game the past couple of seasons. I don't think he's going to throw that away with an intentional skate cut to Karlsson. I agree that if it was anyone but Matt Cooke or a similar player with his reputation, there wouldn't be a question about intent.

Plus deliberately cutting someone with your skate that's plain psychotic. Hell you could get criminally charged and I'm sure every man fears of doing the time from the crime

That's horrible. A Achilles injury is possibly the worst injury you can get hockey. Takes a long time to recover and when you do your foot isn't the same anymore. Look at Petr Forsberg his career was cut short by it or Ryan Whitney right now. Best wishes to his recovery because this could be a huge blow to his career and the Senators. Jeez they may lost their two best players for the season.

Matt Cooke probably feels like shit right now. I only saw the replays of the actual incident, but I heard one of the Sens roughed him up with some punches after it and he didn't even fight back. He just took it.

It could have been accidental, but it's Matt Cooke, so he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Considering all the dirty, cheap tactics he's pulled in his career, would you really put it past him to intentionally pull a stunt like this?

Watch the footage of the hit. If you can tell me that was intentionally done, I can't take your opinion seriously on hockey anymore. Plus he's taken dramatic steps to clean up his game the past couple of seasons. Why would he throw that all away, plus potentially face criminal charges, on Karlsson of all people? Actually use logical thinking on this.

I don't think it was intentional, but I think because it's Matt Cooke, the window is left open for it to be considered not accidental. Matt Cooke lost the benefit of the doubt about three years and a dozen dirty hits and cheap shots ago.

So Realignment is very likely to occur for next season. And it will very likely be similar to the original proposal made by the NHL in 2011. prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/13/nhls-realignment-plan-has-been-tweaked/Still the situation in Phoenix needs to be settled before they can confirm anything however I see them moving to Quebec. Weather the NHL moves Winnipeg into the "West" conference with Edmonton and Calgary or just waits to expand to Seattle is another big question. Still this is just how I think it's going to work out.

Considering all the dirty, cheap tactics he's pulled in his career, would you really put it past him to intentionally pull a stunt like this? if you watch the play it was a pretty obvious accident. on TSN Aaron Ward even showed a bunch of other footage of similar hits that were near misses. it's like Chara's hit on Pacioretty a couple years ago. clean hit but outside factors led to a freak-accident.

Why is the NHL so hell bent on this stupid realignment? ask the Winnipeg Jets how they feel about traveling from the 'Peg to the southern US every other day.

Minus 40 one day, five day road trip to plus 40 temperatures But seriously the easiest solution is move Nashville to the SE, Move Minnesota or Colorado to Central, move Winnipeg to the NW. It's not so hard

It's not so hard bingo. not fair to possibly keep teams with higher point totals out of the playoffs

It's not so hard you don't even need to do that. just move Nashville to the SE division and Winnipeg to the Central (they used to be in that div back in the day)
