Erik Karlsson

I could compare this to a drunk driver killing somebody in a car accident. He didnt mean to do it yet it happened.

Not really. Since Cooke wasn't doing anything wrong - really, he wasn't, this would be a better analogy:

There was a car accident with a casualty, but no one was at fault. However, the person that didn't die was a notorious puppy killer, and therefore he is a real piece of **** for getting into that accident.

[Big Ev]

Well some are saying he might have been going for the slew foot. Not my words.

Fair enough, I can't say what his intentions were.

that play could have happened to anyone. if it was datsyuk no one would say anything, it's just cooke's rep that's making him look bad.

Something tells me Datsyuk wouldn't have his leg suspended in the air like that as he was making the check. Keep your skates on the ice dipshit. It's not like he was off-balance or something and couldn't avoid his skates getting up off the ice that high.

lol...I think we all need an Anology-101 refresher course.

jeebus...

BUt again, I don't think what he did was malicious in this case. It's just an obvious trend with the guy. Controversy follows him. Of course he will not get as much benefit of the doubt. Would a reformed pedophile be allowed to care for children?

hahaha this is a completely irrational analogy, but definitely made me chuckle.

Hey Ev

Whats this about the ref/linesman missing blowing the whistle just before this when the puck hit the mesh?

I mean how do all of these 4 zebras miss that? Even Alffy had his hands up.

Never wouldve happened if they were doing their job.

damn...you could tell by the angle at which Cooke's skate came down, and the excruciating look of pain on Karlsson's face that it wasn't going to be a good outcome.

[metaldude26]

I don't believe that is a very applicable comparison. Hitting is a normal part of the game. Being a reckless hitter is being a dumbass. Pedophilia is not a normal part of adult life.

I think a more applicable comparison would be if he were a professional cook. Being a reckless professional cook means you are a dumbass and you can hurt people if you do your job improperly. Fitting with his name.

Well I mean technically you could say that like hitting in hockey, sex is a normal part of adult life. Things get reckless once you start going after those who can't or don't consent. So I mean, it's semantics but by your argument the pedophile analogy carries weight.

Lots of stuff wouldn't have happened if meaningless things were changed. It's the butterfly effect. It doesn't mean that not calling a delay of game penalty caused this. It's not a dangerous instance to let an NHL game continue unabated when somebody clears the puck over the glass. I know it's hard to accept that it isn't anybody's fault that the most dynamic defenseman in the NHL is gone for the season. We always like to blame somebody, but it was 100% bad luck and nothing more.

[sd1976]

season is over for the sens no doubt. please explain how jones/mackinnon will transform the sens into a dynasty.

Well because it's the Sens and EV is a homer. All good, but just sayin. No one else agrees on the dynasty comment.

[Old_Smokie]

Who carea about the "dynasty." If I wanted dynasty I'd go watch a bunch of hacks make duck calls. When is this guy due to hit the IR. Big poppa is sniffing for a win at the championship and needs a replacement.

[golfguy1672]

I wish I knew how to make memes. If I did, I'd make one with that guy thàt is always saying to brace yourself



Brace yourself. Bad Karlsson trade proposals are coming.

I think theres going to be a rash of them coming quickly on here
