:::In the days leading up to his latest and longest suspension, it has been widely reported and has now become the the widely accept consensus view that Cooke is a dirty player and a headhunter who will soon be out of hockey if he does not clean up his act.

You can split hairs over my choice of words  and I have not written anything into the article  but the theme is inarguable.
