Head shots must be dealt with severely, and the Pittsburgh Penguins support the NHL in sending this very strong message." Shero's unequivocal denouncement of Cooke's latest actions comes just days after he led an unsuccessful campaign at last week's GM meetings to ban shots to the head altogether. If being

Penguins have victim, suspect on roster Tue Mar 22 10:13:57 2011 EST
Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Sidney Crosby has been on the sidelines for 10 weeks, the victim of a cluster of illegal shots to the head that has had him out of the Pittsburgh Penguins line-up since January 5th. Now his teammate Matt Cooke, arguably the dirtiest player in the league, has joined him on the sidelines. Some would say it's about freakin' time. Cooke, who almost ended Marc Savard's career with a head shot in March 2010 that led to a new rule banning checks to the head, has been sus
