"The suspension is warranted because that's exactly the kind of hit we're trying to get out of the game," Pittsburgh GM Ray Shero said in a statement. "We've told Matt in no uncertain terms that this kind of action on the ice is unacceptable and cannot happen." The action against Matt Cooke represents what type of control? A) concurrent control B) steering control C) feedback control D) feedforward control E) preliminary control
