Bruins Lose Savard and Game to Penguins

After Sunday’s game the Bru­ins want to see Pen­guins left-winger Matt Cooke sus­pended and it won’t be for the first time. Cooke lev­eled the Bru­ins’ Marc Savard with a blind side check, knock­ing him out and giv­ing him con­cus­sion late in the third period. Savard was car­ried off on a stretcher.

Cooke has already been sus­pended twice this sea­son for “unac­cept­able hits” and the Bru­ins who lost 2 –1 were angry, they had lost one of their best play­ers to a cheap shot.

It’s “obvi­ous that was def­i­nitely a dirty hit,” said Bru­ins coach Claude Julien, who said Cooke should be sus­pended. “That’s prob­a­bly the clas­sic blind-side hit to the head.” Cooke will not con­tinue play­ing until he has been assessed and is not join­ing the Pen­guins in Toronto tomorrow.

It was Evgeni Malkin who scored the go-ahead goal for the Pen­guins early in the third period end­ing Boston’s five game win­ning streak. The Pen­guins remain unbeaten since the Olympic break.
