Matt Cooke lone Pittsburgh rioter after Game 7 loss

PITTSBURGH — The streets of Montreal were ablaze Wednesday night with sheer pandemonium after the Canadiens 5-2 Game 7 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins. Over 21,000 fans rioted in the streets as police attempted to stop the crowd. Stores were broken into, and fires raged. Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, the streets were empty, except for one man: Penguins wing Matt Cooke. Cooke, known for his dirty play and violent actions, took to the streets of Pittsburgh, setting off car alarms, body-checking trash cans into storefront windows, and lighting fires. Multiple security cameras caught Cooke in action. Liquor store owner Jerry Hanson had over $10,000 of damage done to his store by the Penguins wing. “He just came through here and demolished everything,” said Hanson. “He broke the glass in the front window with his head, shouted slurs, knocked over a couple aisles of wine then grabbed himself a bottle vodka, smiled a big, toothless grin and stormed towards the exit, shattering a Zippo lighter display on his way out.” Teammates were not shocked at the news. “Matt does that even after a win,” said team captain Sidney Crosby. “You should see his hotel room after each game. It’s like a Tasmanian Devil was in there fighting with a mongoose all night.”
