But he didn't. He played when the hits were deemed legal. Stevens hit to hurt no doubt, but I still don't think of him as a "dirty" player. He simply hit hard and you needed to know when he was on the ice when you were coming into his zone and you needed to keep your head up.
I don't think he's comparable at all to that punk Cooke.
