That's what I was going to say. People won't be grabbing their torches and pitchforks like they did for Cooke though.

In all fairness, Brown is fine.
It was pretty dirty, but the circumstances aren't the same.

Having Lu on this panel is awesome. Only one that should even be talking.
Whether a injury results from it shouldn't matter. A dirty hit is a dirty hit.
The big difference is that it looks like a much harder cut (which can lead to a knee being in that position) by the Sharks player.
I will say, the little leg movements I see make it look like it was intentional, though.

This Stalock dude makes me really nervous.

Lets lock this one up boys. 3rd period for the ages. FOR BARRIEEEEEEEEEE
Thornton hasn't ended anyone's career, so you can understand why people might be a little quicker to "break out the pitchforks" when we're talking about Matt Cooke.

I think Thornton stuck his knee out way later than Cooke did, Cooke has his knee stuck out for a while. Still, not a good play by Thornton.

When dirty players get hit dirty, I'm less inclined to care. I don't think Joe Thornton is going to go knee on knee on some random dude next week if the Sharks win.
I agree, but people will brush Thorton's knee off and forget about it quickly. Dirty hits are dirty hits and to me that's pretty close to Cooke's knee.
So what, do you want him suspended?
It should get reviewed by the league, at the very least. I think most people would be with you to that point at least.

Circumstance of injury should be irrelevant.

Meh. They already ignored Stoll smashing Vlasic's head. Didn't even look at it. A fine to Thornton, sure. A suspension would be a joke.
Not necessarily but it should be reviewed. People want a no tolerance policy, and that's a pretty blatant kneeing, it should be treated as such.
Exactly, the fact that the NHL takes injury circumstance into account is one of it's biggest problems. It shouldn't matter if someone is injured or not.

Can almost promise if Bordeleau hit his knee attempt (which was similar looking, he just missed), plenty of people here and elsewhere would be screaming for his suspension because of the type of player he is even though he doesn't have a history. I would want him suspended too, and not just because we'd be a better team without him.

Kings need to get a second goal. One goal leads are so nerve-wracking.
Jeez. The hell happened?

2 goals won't be any better if other games are to go by. You might want 3!
