Not much to say on this one. I watched it yesterday, but couldn't bring myself to write about it. Not sure what was going on with the Zebras, but they certainly were on their game yesterday, weren't they? Matt Cooke given a game misconduct for getting jumped the the third man in on the fight. Three pretty blatant non-calls when Crosby, Orpik and Goligoski are all tripped, cross-checked or held near...

A while back, I wrote an article opining that the Penguins’ signing of Matt Cooke would make Pens’ fans forget Jarkko Ruutu. Well, I’m here to acknowledge after 15 games, that wasn’t a true statement. The simple fact is that Matt Cooke and Jarkko Ruutu are entirely different types of players.

Just a quick mid-afternoon video treat for you fine folks. Apparently, Matt Cooke has become a pseudo-Chuck Norris. He doesn’t slash people…people just fail to get out of the way of his stick. “Cowboy” Bob Orton would be proud of that clothesline.

Barring injury, at some time in early October, Matt Cooke will join Rico Fata as the only players to have played at least one NHL game with each of Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby (Fata played with the 2004 and 2005 number one draft picks during the 2005-06 season). Narrowly missing joining this exclusive club was Kris Beech, who played five games for Pittsburgh this past season, four of

Earlier today, I linked to G5H's Matt Cooke man-love, including the new Cooke-y Monster Facebook page. The signing came over the weekend, when most bloggers take time off and, you know, do things not involving a computer. I didn't update on this deal, which Faceoff Factor lists at 2 years, $2.4 mil. Today, I decided to put my sportsblogger research skillz (Google news-trolling,

Matt Cooke signed a two year deal worth $2.4 million with the Pens on Saturday. He took a pay cut to come to Pittsburgh. This is the guy that many people thought the Pens should go after a few years back when they got Jarkko Ruutu . Cooke is, by all accounts, faster than Ruutu . He can also chip in offensively more than Ruutu did. Cooke will score 10-15 goals and won't kill you with penalty minutes,...

No surprise that Brooks Laich and Shaone Morrisonn have opted for an arbitrator. And if you were curious, Matt Cooke becomes a Penguin. Since the Pens already lost a agitator they needed to get one in return. Cooke now is the enemy. But with a sweet face.

from Empty Netters, The Penguins have signed Capitals agitator Matt Cooke to a two-year deal. Cooke is an agiator in the mold of Sean Avery, Jarkko Ruutu or Steve Ott. In addition to that “skill” he’s also a fairly decent penalty killer. continued
