I am not a fan of Vitale and was not of the way Cooke played up until this year. He is a different person/player. W all the talent on the Pens any time he skated on the ice I was worried his brain would backfire and most of the time last season it did......Im just not a fan of any player like that,no matter which team he is on. Tough and energy are one thing but........Too much like a loose cannon for my taste(raffi torres light). Maybe he was your only option . I have no idea, but why was he not in the line-up for certain games V NJ?
