What the heck is wrong with Pittsburgh's coaches/management??????
They trying to keep Cooke on the ice at all costs?
This happened in game 1... Crosby came across as a whiny punk.
Pittsburgh most not have believed him either that Chara punched him in the face or they would have had their video guys go over every contact that Chara and Crosby had and have this clip ready to go on Coaches corner.
Chara would have at least missed a game and been labelled a dangerous offender. He and the refs would have been reminded by the Pittsburgh fans of this bush-league play every time he touched the puck.
Even now against the Hawks this will count against Chara. He will be monitored a lot closer and not (should not) get the benefit of the doubt.
Pittsburgh is a bush organization that won't believe and/or protect the best player in the league.
Iggy should be glad that they don't want him back.
