I see this as being similar to players getting a high sticking double minor. Cooke likely didn't intend to do what he did. But I still think he should be responsible for his skate being that far off the ice in a situation where he didn't have to have it up that high. Maybe not a suspension, but a fine for sure as I think this needs to be brought to light that players shouldn't be lifting their skates a foot off the ice when they're still standing.
