Boudrias Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Shanahan didn't mention the fact that was it a late hit or not on Keith. That a lone should give Keith another 4 games, for purposly hitting another player that did not even have the puck, nor did he even touch the puck. Torres hit at least, less then a second ago, Hossa had the puck, so yes, it's looking like a joke, and welcome back Daniel Sedin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer2 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 some good points in this thread Torres hit looks a lot like being Kronwalled. Not saying he shouldn't be punished (relax joel K ) but do think that Keith should have been punished more for a more obvious attempt to injure ( successfully). Kharma hit the hawks.. too bad Keith isn't the one carted off Quit whining Chicago you sound like us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apple123 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 consider for a second the short handed goals against in game 2. series is probably tied 2 - 2 right now wth daniel in the line up, because those shorty's probably translate to 1 goal for, not 2 against. or even 0 goals would have changed that game. if duncan keith ever shows up on the street in vancouver i'm going to plant an elbow on his chin so hard that it ruins his summer, which hopefully the yotes will start for him soon. torres <3. karma. screw chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niloc009 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Definitely. Everything gets more calmed down when Daniel is around. -Henrik is so much more effective because he gets to play with someone who's used to and can play the cycle game -Daniel is a huge part of our offense and our PP -When the twins are cycling, it takes a lot of pressure and work away from the defence, keeping them more well rested and ready for future shifts -Lines make sense again. Everyone plays better in their specific roles. Having that top LW spot filled makes everyone be able to be in those specific roles And we didn't play well in the last 8 games without Daniel. We won 7/8 yeah, but 7 of this games, and 6 of those wins were against non-playoff teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sQuish Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Keith's hit on Sedin was 10 times worse than Torres'. Yet Torres will get an indefinite ban until next season. This league is so f'd up it's insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarMonster Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 If the league starts handing out severe fines to the team of the suspended player, such as $20g / game suspended, owners and managment may start feeling the pain. ....just a thought. Keith's hit would've cost the team a hundred grand. ...Bert's hit on More would be 4 hundred thousand. ...at the least, it would grab owners' attention, no? go Nucks!

Kwyjibo on the Loose Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Canucks would have probably won in 6 with Daniel from the get-go. Instead we'll probably lose in 6 now thanks to Keith. So basically we lose our best forward for a few weeks and lose our entire season, and in return Keith gets a 5 game suspension. Part of me is glad Hossa is in hospital right now. Karma is finally working her sweet magic. If the league won't find a way to teach these guys a lesson, then other players will have to, and that's what Torres did.

RUPERTKBD Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The Torres and Brown hits were hockey hits. Torres will be a scape goat. Once again the NHL will show what they really are. The Keith hit was an elbow thrown to injure. If the NHL had wanted to send a serious message going into playoffs they would have suspended him for 20 games. Since when did blind side hits (how is this defined anyways) become a defence against physical play? Bottom line with Torres is that he is built like a tank and when he hits there is a real chance of injury. He plays no different than that TO icon Tie Domi. Domi a TO legend, Torres a cheap shot artist who hits to hurt. Go figure. There was a time when players had to keep their heads up and make a decision whether to expose themselves to a hit or not. Scott Stevens a legend, Raffi Torres cheap shot artist. Who is really being fooled here? Used to be if you were going up against a Torres type player you had someone in the lineup who would play him one on one. Hit him before he could do the same. The game is now descending into ice play being determined by a bunch of people who have never played an NHL game. Sorry but the weasel from Calgary who passes himself off as a sports reporter or Ron MacLean are not hockey players. Take the body armour off these players and let them play.

Burnsey Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The thing i loved from seeing Danny back was the fact that Henrik was no longer looking like a lost child. They know each other so well, that no player was able to pick up their game and play like Daniel thus resulting in the first line really being: Blank-Henrik-Blank nice to see we got Danny back, and he looks even better than he did prior to his injury. Lets improve from this game and get another win. One period, one game at a time boys, and we'll be back at a game 7 soon enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withnail Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yeah, the general feeling towards the end of the regular season was that we would be just fine without Daniel and nobody was too worried because we finished the regular season so well without him. This was nonsense of course... Our stretch down the end of the playoffs where we won 7 in a row and won 8 out of 9 probably contributed to a laziness in the first couple games of the playoffs. What I didn't hear anyone talking about was how all 8 of those teams we beat at the end of the season were NON-PLAYOFF TEAMS. Not only were we not playing very competitive teams, but it was dulling our senses and making us cocky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni_14 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I understand that putting in a player with that level of ability can change a game, but are you really saying that without that 1 player... you aren't good enough to beat the #8 team? It's no surprise that the team got a "jump" from him coming back (and the "elimination game" is one of the hardest ones to win on top of that,) but to say that he was the ONLY reason why you lost games 1-3 is like saying you are a "1 player team" and if that 1 player gets shut down... you have no prayer of winning. I remember back when people were saying the WCE years was a "one line team," this would be even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuckFanLivingInCalgary:( Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 but you have to know that Danny's presence causes them to play different defensively and obviously makes our PP much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
