CSNNE.comMatt Cooke continues to prove that he simply doesnt get it. The Pittsburgh hatchet man could have blamed himself for the Penguins losing a seven game first round series to the Tampa Bay Lightning when he missed the entire postseason after one too many cheap shots leveled this season. The last was a flying elbow toward the head of New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonough that only WWF wrestler Tito Santana would have been proud of.But the Pittsburgh cheap shot artist proved he could move much beyond contrite or smartened up when he offered up this bon mot on the Pens breakup day Friday afternoon.Speaking about how hell approach the game moving forward with the NHL furtively watching him and perhaps the concussions hes caused weighing heavily on his mind, Cooke instead flippantly went with: "I'm not gonna put on a tutu and dance around out there"That quote was provided via twitter by Pittsburgh sports radio personality Chris Mack and the context of it isnt fully knownbut it does display an edgy player that still doesnt quite know where the line is on his own. Cooke only chooses to pull the tutu and dance routine when a legitimate tough guy comes looking for him to answer for his underhanded actions, but thats a different story for another day.Actions speak louder than words, obviously, and Cooke will show next season on the ice if hes truly learned something about respecting the safety of his fellow players and their brains. But his glib comments on a day his hockey season ended show that hes now exactly off to an enlightened start.On the bright: Cooke has now much more time to devote toward buying matching suits with his son and developing the next pro wrestling move he tries to pull on somebody next season.Its now golfing season for Cooke and the rest of the Penguins players.On to the links:Kirk Luedeke puts out a blog post on a hockey prospect named Mika that the Bruins might be interested in selecting.
