Cooke wird geschickter bei seinen Assi-Aktionen im Vergleich zu früher.
a) Warum ist der Schlittschuh in der Luft und b) warum landet der Schlittschuh genau in Karlssons Ferse?
Ist ein Spieler nicht mindestens genauso für die Kontrolle seiner Skates verantwortlich wie für den Schläger? Das wäre zumindest intuitiv, aber ich kenne die Regeln hierzu nicht. Der Freispruch suggeriert, dass dies nicht der Fall ist.
Sagen wir mal so, ich denke bei 95% aller anderen NHL Spieler wär wahrscheinlich nicht mal der Verdacht da das es Absicht wäre. Ist der Ruf erst einmal ruiniert......
Ich bleib dabei, war unglücklich aber keine Absicht. Die Liga scheints ja exakt so zu sehen. Für alle anderen Meinungen ist Cooke ja im Endeffekt auch selbst verantwortlich
