-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 DarrenDreger: 25 games for Torres was orginally assessed to ban him for remainder of playoffs. New hearing because of appeal. Torres missed 13 playoff gms DarrenDreger: Add the additional 8 regular season games still to be served and you get to the 21 game suspension announced today.

Dazzle Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Absolutely retarded. There was so much garbage that was going on in the playoffs that could have been suspendable and then you throw the book at a 'no-namer'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieCrumbs Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I think the suspension is still absurd. Hockey hit. They should have just had him miss preseason and call it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustapha Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Someone should have Duncan Keiths hit appealed to tack on another 30 games for his dirty elbow on aniel. If Torres deserves twenty one games, Keith should have received around forty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haikara Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 That was a clean hit, shoulder to the chest. Looks like Torres leaped into that hit though. Regardless of whether it was a head-shot, that suspension was completely unfair. With all the other crap going on, he got singled out and was given a suspension more than all the others combined. Where is the consistency? How is that fair to all the other victims? I'm all for 20+ games suspensions to help deter headshots, but don't change the rules whenever you feel like it. Shannaban fail.

Hyzer Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Don't worry guys. No names get 25+ games for a hockey hit where as Keith gets 5 reg. season games for intentially elbowing and trying to injure another player. LOL. What a f***in joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfruits Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 whats the point of taking 4 games off 21 games is still way too much considering some of those games were playoff games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Shanny needs to give his head a ****ing shake after this stunt he pulled. Duncan Keith elbows Daniel in the face and gets a slap on the wrist, and Torres places a solid open ice hit that injured a soft player at best, gets the book thrown at him. What a effing joke. There is no consistency with the officiating and disciplinary anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your New Coach Mr. Tippett Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 UFA - I'd take him on the 3rd/4th line for 2 years @ $1.5MM over the myriad of plugs, Wiese, Volpatti, Pinizotto, etc etc they've been running out there. Seeing what Moen, Prust and Tootoo are getting these days. I'm sure he would be happy to come here. He is defensively responsible, has a 'reputation' that will make other team's stay honest if they know there is a 'loose cannon' on the opposing squad.
