As for the play itself, I'm willing to believe it was an accident. I wouldn't put it past Matt Cooke to do something like that though.

You can't seriously accuse Cooke, because there's no way to prove intent, but these players are experts at making "accidentally on purpose" dirty plays. The reason we don't see these injuries during board battles more often is that players are typically careful with their skates.
I also don't understand why we should take the person doing it out of the discussion. It's not "objective" to ignore a player's history in these situations. I'm absolutely more suspicious of Cooke than most other players.
