The Blind Side

Yesterday, the B's lost to the Penguins, 2-1. Goal by Wheeler (goal-line stuff). Thomas looked pretty good, did what he could, etc. but when you can't score, you can't score.
Obviously, the bigger story was Matt Cooke's blind-side elbow to the head of Marc Savard. The other subplot to this event that I think is bouncing in every Bruins fan mind, is why didn't someone pound Matt Cooke's face into a bucket of lo mein? The guy has a reputation for being a pest, and makes a dumb hit, and the team just stands around. Yeah a little ho-hum retaliation by Lootch & Ryder, but nothing real. Cload seemed most pissed of all, both on the hit and the lack of pushback by the team.
I dunno.
