Pot, Meet Kettle
I wonder if Mario will threaten to leave the game.

Yeah, I saw that. Not sure it's suspension worthy, but definitely throws Cooke into the same asshole different day category.
What do you mean they won 4 cups in a row? Is that possible?
Just thought it was a boarding (no suspension) myself
But I found it insane for people saying the hit was embellished. As if at that speed and that situation someone’s going to see Cooke coming (he was one of three Pens forwards working in the sequence) and go all Italian soccer player on the scene.

Yeah, the embellishment idea is stupid. Any reporter that claims that should be put in the boardee's position and see what they think after that.

Season hasnt even started…yet One New filthy penguin already threatened team’s best players in an open interview and Matt Cook has his first dirty hit.
Super Mario will then complain to the league that players are playing too soft or too have players suspended that get in the way of Matt Cooke’s flying elbows and stick shafts.

And Cooke's Even Wearing an "A"
I assume for —-hole.

So much for changing his ways
Not that I even believed any of that. But still, you would think that with Shanny cracking down on illegal hits, the hammer will fall on Matt Cooke sometime soon.

We should have an over under of 5gms. Maybe 10 if I'm feeling generous.

1979-80

May 24, 1980: Tonelli to Nystrom. At long last, the steady build of the New York Islanders from expansion doormat to surprise semifinalist to annual contender reaches the promised land: Buoyed by a late season trade for Butch Goring that gave the team the depth up the middle GM Bill Torrey had been seeking, the Islanders knock off the Philadelphia Flyers in six games.
The victory justified the faith in coach Al Arbour who guided them from their second season to their first Stanley Cup seven seasons later. The Islanders would not be the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup, but they would be the only one capable of a dynasty.

May 21, 1981: This time it was much easier. After falling to "only" 91 points in the 1979-80 season, the Islanders returned to their division title tradition, piling up 110 points -- a whole 13 points over second-place Philadelphia.
Between the quarterfinals (where they beat the upstart Oilers in six games) and the finals, the Islanders reeled off eight consecutive wins -- with a four-game sweep of archrival Rangers in between. As they defeated the Minnesota North Stars in five games for their second Cup, their goal difference in the final was a combined +10.

May 16, 1982: Another year, another landslide title. The Islanders won the Patrick Division by a whopping 26 points over the second-place Rangers, and were seven points clear of their nearest competition for the President's Trophy, the still-not-quite-ripe Edmonton Oilers.
A first-round scare against the Pittsburgh Penguins turned in the Isles' favor thanks to John Tonelli's heroics, and a true dynasty was on its way: Past the Rangers in six games, then an eight-game sweep of the Quebec Nordiques and Vancouver Canucks to run away with the Stanley Cup.

May 17, 1983: Not so fast, whipper-snappers. The Edmonton Oilers' steadily rising challenge for league supremacy took them all the way to the finals for the first time, where the New York Islanders summarily dispatched them in a four-game sweep. For the Islanders, the Dynasty was secured. For the Oilers, it was a powerful lesson in where talent ends and the demands of playoff hockey begin.
Four years, four Cups, 16 consecutive playoff series wins (a record that would grow to 19 until the rematch with the Oilers the following year). Mike Bossy scored 60 goals yet again, and Wayne Gretzky became acquainted with Billy Smith's crease.
