It was virtually the exact same play as Wideman did tonight and countless of NHLers do every night. If Glencross (player with a slight history) took Cooke's spot and Dillon took the spot of Karlsson this wouldn't even be a second thought and would be completely viewed as an unfortunate hockey play. Stomping isn't very common in the NHL at all.
