I second that it wasn't intentional. When you watch it in slow-mo, it does look like Cooke intended to do it, but if you watch enough games, you'll see that play pretty often when two guys are battling for the puck. Cooke looked like he was about to pin Karlsson to the boards, and he lifted his skate a little too high. Cooke's been an idiot in the past, but this time I don't think there was that intent. As dirty as he's been, not many players (even him) would want to do something that messy.
