Dennis Bernstein of the terrific The Fourth Period Hockey Lifetsyle Magazine and web site was kind enough to stop by and give us some of his hockey thoughts for the week.
PH: How do you think the NHL will handle the concussion issue now that some rules have been put in place? Do you think they’ll work?
DB: Not sure they will work and NHL needs to have more solutions. They have to explore things like putting some level of legal obstruction back in as to slow the game down a bit. The NHL also needs to look at the equipment, players today look like they wear amour. Look at an old picture of Gretzky without his sweater on, minimal padding.
PH: Do you think there is a place in the NHL for Matt Cooke of the Pittsburgh Penguins? Do you think he will finally learn his lesson or will it fall upon deaf ears?
DB: If Cooke was put on waivers today, 15 teams would pick him up. With that said, I wouldn’t want him on my team. It’s interesting to see that this suspension was the first time that other players commented that the felt it was the correct punishment, you’ve never seen that before. As for changing his ways, it brings to mind Bryan Marchment, another player that never altered his style of dirty play.

An E-mail Interview with Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period

Dennis Bernstein, an extremely important part of The Fourth Period web site and hockey lifestyle magazine, was kind enough to take time out of his extremely busy schedule to tell us about how he got into hockey, how he got into covering hockey, his role at The Fourth Period, and the future of the web site and the lifestyle magazine.
PH: How did you get into hockey?
DB: My first recollection of hockey was listening to New York Rangers radio broadcasts a child; sitting on my parent’s bedroom floor and imagining I was a goalie making saves with a ruler and a small toy puck.
PH: Growing up, who was your favorite team/player? Why?
DB: Originally a Rangers fan, when I was 13 I moved from the Bronx to Central New Jersey where we picked up broadcasts of Flyers game on UHF (what’s that??). These were the Broad Street Bullies pre-Stanley Cup; they were young, exciting and, controversial, so it wasn’t hard to shift my rooting preferences. My favorites were the usual suspects, Clarke, MacLeish, Parent and Schultz.
