I supported Lemieux's initial statements on the fighting/head shot issue in the NHL. Now he needs to stand behind them and send a clear message. If the NHL does not place a significant punishment to Cooke (a guy with a bad reputation) Mario needs to step in and lay the hammer down. Lemieux must ensure he will not accept this behavior even from one of his own.
I say Cooke should get no less than 8 games and probably 10 based on his history, the awareness he clearly had on the play, and the suspensions handed out throughout this season.
