If it was a deliberate dirty play then you can attach Cooke's name to it and throw the book at him. But a play like this that's a hockey play with an unfortunate result, you can't pretend to be a psychic and get into the mind of the player, that would be drumhead justice and pretty stupid.

The only way that you can prove that this is deliberate is if you can personally read his mind and see that he decided in less then a couple of seconds to stomp on a players tendon.

Too many hockey fans are over thinking this thing, thank god you're not judges.
How many times do I have to assure you that I'm not pretending to have proof of intent before you stop talking about "pretending to be psychic", "reading his mind", and so on? I already said that I would not prosecute him. But just between you and me and everyone else here, he could have done it on purpose.
