With the way things are starting out with Seguin, Dallas may be wishing they had Cooke to chicken-wing Seguin whenever he gets out of line.

Cooke's a D-bag, no doubt. But if the family appreciates the gesture and is good with it, I certainly won't hold it against him.

There's still something to be said for just letting it go when you realize WHY no one is usually issued the number.

He lucked out that the family is okay with it. I would still have personally not asked. And I am a guy obsessed with my number...

"I want #43."
"Ummmm, last guy to wear it is ______, the guy who died. We haven't given it out since."

Two choices:
1) "Oh, okay, give me 20/29/33/31/34... whatever"
2) "Well, I will see if the dead guy's family is okay with it"

alternatively choice #3 is called "the Messier":

just take the number without asking the family and then attempt to anally penetrate Pavel Bure

Nice article on how Cooke is settling in with his new teammates.

Only question is: To what extent did the author feel 'compelled' to keep pointing out that Matt has left his goon ways behind?
