Cooke runs Duncan Keith right where it says "KEITH" on the back of the jersey. Keith runs Cooke on the opposite side of the ice and kept his arm down. There was no elbow. If you want to see elbowing, cross-checking, and 'intent to injure' -> rewind your DVR to Malkin's penalty or watch this nifty video; Cooke got exactly what he deserved while Malkin should have had a double minor at the minimum.

Cooke takes a run at Keith at one end of the ice and Keith takes a run at Cooke on the next rush. What's the problem? That's hockey people. What Cooke did (charging Keith) was filthy and Keith repaid the favor by blind-siding him. IMO; Cooke initiated everything and got exactly what was coming to him. There will be no suspension and there shouldn't be. This is the ebb-and-flow of a ruthless game and the immediate calls for 'suspension' is a f'n joke. Keep your damn head up and when you take a run at someone, you should expect a response of equal or greater consequence. This is how hockey is played and should be played. Eye for an eye...and everything else. About fighting; Duncan Keith is Chicago's #1 D-man and is in the top 3 in ice time:game among all NHLers. There's no reason for him to fight and sit in the sin bin for 5min just b/c a grinder asks you 'to dance'. That may be Iginla's schtick...but he can keep it.
