Cooke's hit on Savard

[Esau.]

Takes a rookie on the Thrashers to take care of business for the B's losing Savard to this little shit.

meh - Boston was hit hard by losing Savard, obviously. But what real benefit would they have gained from retaliating? I mean, they just made the playoffs as it is and I don't believe losing another player even for a game or three would have helped them during this last month of the regular season.

Personally, I'm glad the B's didn't go head hunting for this clown, he isn't even worth 2 mins of penalty time in my opinion. I'm sure some will see that as a cop-out. Considering some of discussions and debates in this forum about the level of violence in the NHL (or sports in general) I'm more surprised anyone wanted vengeance. Yeah, it sucked big time. But that's hockey.
