I doubt he could even keep up with Prust. He should retire. I'd think the average Pee Wee could skate faster than Prust. Hey atleast Torres is likely in good shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey atleast Torres is likely in good shape Maybe, but I doubt he's in game shape (especially in a younger and faster NHL. Certainly not worth his contract. Should retire. Hopefully his team will buy him out so he won't go out and hurt an AHL player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Jacobs + Kelly sutherland. Colin Campbell temporarily stepping down because his son was playing in the finals and he puts mike murphy in charge (this is the guy that said how cool it would be for the kings to win the cup that year when the canucks played the kings in the first round and he disallowed one of our goals that should have counted. he even talked about it on hnic). During the rome suspension, he wasn't sure what to do so he calls up Brian Burke to get advice on what to do with the suspension. No conflict of interest at all asking a former GM of the Canucks that we didn't want anymore. Then there are the emails about colin campbell and him complaining about the official that called a penalty on his son (from awhile back, not to do with the playoffs). Then there was the whole diving nonsense where they made it seem like the Canucks are the only ones that to do it, but every team dives, especially marchand and the bruins. The bruins were allowed to hack and wack so much after the play, but the refs would never do anything about it. Bruins fans chanting flopper after boychuk? drove Raymond into the boards and broke his back. Man, do I ever hate this shady league. 10 min unsportmanlike penalty for dan sedin after he was repeatedly punched in the face by Marchand. Oh man, I need a drink now. Sorry, I've gone a bit off-topic. Where is that raffi torres is a bowling ball thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Maybe if we had Raffi back people would stop hoping for Lucic. Just as many suspensions at a third of the cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekey Pete Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 1 hour ago, The Lock said: You can't protect out youngsters when you're suspended..... Not only that, but usually a team picks up 34 year olds for their leadership qualities. Good leadership does not involve taking bad penalties. I know, I know. I just really liked Raffi when he was here. You weren't caught skating with your head down when Raffi was on the ice. Unfortunately the DoPS took the position that if you skate around with your head down leaning inwards putting yourself in a vulnerable position that is okay. Raffi has made some incredibly stupid hits, but some of them he was punished unfairly IMO (because of his reputation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyotasfan Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 If memory serves me it seems all-star weekend always has teams trying to sneak someone through waivers because everyone is busy and its low key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 7 hours ago, Master Mind said: You would think a team like the Sharks would want to keep him. The path through the playoffs goes through LA for them, and Torres could be of use in that series. He could take out Doughty, the same way Stoll took out Vlasic, and look how much of a difference that made the last time they met. Not condoning that at all, but the league certainly doesn't take any steps from preventing something like that from happening. I think there is potential sure but I am sure the team wants to rid themselves of this player and the likeliness that he ends up in hot water again. Not to mention his injury took a toll on him coming back to the lineup and he has a $ 2m caphit to boot. I could see a team taking him for sure but in no way should Vancouver even consider it, Waivers is useful but it doesn't turn back time. We all know the appeal of Torres was how he played several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBH1926 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 He is clearing the waivers, I don't think anyone will pick him up. I always thought he was somewhat talented. Too bad his career will be mostly remembered for dirty hits and suspensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably cross the line too, but you can guarantee no one will take liberties with Jared, Jake or Ben when he's on the ice. Dorsett is a better fighter. Torres a better hitter / dirty player. I loved Torres when he was here. Lol. Too much time in the box though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SedinMadness Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 so ask why is he on waivers? and you know not to go for him... but you have to understand a team sometimes benefit from a second chance from a guy.. you either crash or you rise to expectations...
