Daily News article said no supplementary action was taken it didn’t mention a hearing or anything how long does it take that hit was when Sunday.

I am definitely against this. Who knows what motive Cooke had and even though it was probably just him being a “dirty” player (although I can’t quite tell from the video), I know that Exhibit A in this whole mess is Richards hit on Booth (who while not in the echelon of say Crosby) is still the Panthers superstar. While most Flyers fans, myself included, believe the Richards hit was clean and an example of what happens when a player goes over the middle with his head down, there was also a large majority of people that thought the hit was dirty. How would have we felt as fans if say Tarnasky came across the middle in a subsequent game and took Carter’s head off, because that is essentially what we are advocating here.

have a ice brawl…they are harmless other than comestic damage…the force you generate is lost to the ice. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction can be demostrated by throwing a punch on ice in skates. There is little to no friction force from the ground to counter the rotational force the body genetates to punch something. Thus you slide backwards. Obviously when one guy falls to the ice then you have a real bare knuckle fist fight which is when eye sockets can get crushed. Boarding and 30 mph illegal checks have the potenial for more damage because once against the boards the forces are no longer dissipated to the ice as in the aforementioned example which means the kinetic energy of a 20-30 mph 200lb man is transfer to the intended target . The open ice hit not only takes advantage of the speed of the of the hitter (X) but that of the hit (Y) as they are usually moving fast. In this stituation the Y’s velocity decreases the time of contact between the X and Y. This means more force accoring to the impulse momentum equation which is force equals momentum (mass * velocity) divided by time. Think boxing. A boxer will mitigate the force of a blow he can’t otherwise avoid by leaning or shifting his weight back which increases the time of contact between his face and the oncoming glove. In reverse, the stituation is all smell the glove becuse the boxer is moving into the punch and thereby decreases the contact time. The issue with either scenario is the rapid decleration. As per inertia, when the human body declerates quickly the brain hasn’t… literally. Why, because it is suspended in cerbrospinal fluid that supplies the brain with nutrients. Think car accident. The car stops but he body inside (if not harnessed) doesn’t until it meets something to stop it. To your brain that’s your skull. The luger’s brain who died at games probably looked like mashed potatoes. The recent studies on rats showed a flattening and elongation of cells in certain parts of the brain. Researchers don’t know the the exact relationship between this and post concussed side effects but unlike muscle and other soft tissue of the organs which are for the most part too elastic to transmit forces, to see this in a mammillian brain which is relatively soft, I think “THIS IS FUCKING BAD” a fair assesment.
