In case you thought I was being overly critical, check out FOX Sports list of the dirtiest NHL players ever. Just check out the picture on the front page! The modest rebirth of this blog was fueled by goalie fights and the goalie fights were fueled by Cookie. Poor Rick DiPietro received a broken jaw and a concussion for his little cheap shot on Cookie when in reality he should get probably get some sort of monetary bonus.
In any rate, since most of you (both of you) are unlikely to actually click on the link, I will provide some highlights:
10. Claude Lemieux - True story, he once broke a guy's face in a playoff game. Says Dino Ciccarelli, "I can't believe I shook this guy's friggin' hand after the game. That pisses me right off."
9. Sean Avery - The dude has a rule named after him in the fucking rule book. Enough said. Sloppy seconds indeed!
8. Tie Domi - Fought a fan in the penalty box.
7. Todd Bertuzzi - Broke a dude's neck with a dirty hit from behind.
...
3. Matt "Cookie" Cooke - Number three! Already! This guy is less than a year older than I am and he is already considered a dirtier player than some of the luminaries listed above! The only two players considered worse are Dale Hunter who tried to kill a dude for scoring a goal against his team in the playoffs and Chris Simon who basically did try to take his skate off and stab someone with it. That is some heady company right there.
