Real deal - Stan Smyl Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 There's a reason whybthere was no penalty called ... It was very close to clean. Only when one slows it right down in replay can we estimate .8 seconds and when the skates came off the ice. We wouldn't even be talking about it if Hossa hadn't been removed on a stretcher .... So why is Torres about to get suspended? Because all the bleeding hearts have no stomach for rough hockey. I say let 'em play. Had Sedin gotten hauled off on a stretcher, brown probably would have been suspended for a CLEAN hit. Let' em play ... This is the best playoffs in years!!

Real deal - Stan Smyl Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read on these boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Rake Fighter Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Amish, WPG makes his most intelligent comment yet and you smack him for it? Torres hit was borderline late. Brown hit was as clean as they come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real deal - Stan Smyl Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 looked a lot like the Brown hit on Henrik, which wasn't a minor penalty either... so much for Henrik being a woooossssy. Not a lot of guys could come back after that and play a 2:30 shift. I like Hossa, the guy is a beast, but the hit, like the Brown hit, may have partially caught him on the jaw, but was primarily to his chest. Chicago spun the Keith elbow as if it was a good payoff - a good rest for Keith - it's hard to feel for their ranting and whining about a borderline hit at the moment.

ChewiesArmy Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm not cheering for the injury, but Chicago is getting what they deserved so I'm glad someone was injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real deal - Stan Smyl Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yeah, that's why he said he had to go and look for the hit and said Daniel should have seen the elbow coming. Not that hard to figure out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoOdjick Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Repeat offender Late hit Targeted head. Player left with injury. 6 games Plays on team owned by NHL. hmm maybe 2 games after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 When someone is strapped to a stretcher and carried off the ice, it stops being a game to become real life at that point. That player in a (rival's) jersey is simpy a human being so it's all irrelevant beyond concern that he/she is ok. With that, there are certain players who it would likely become a matter of "you reap what you sow". Hossa isn't one of them from my recollection. The good news: apparently Hossa's been released from hospital and it appears he'll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madness Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Karma. They had no problem with Keith taking out Daniel Sedin. It's a shame it was Hossa not Keith. It seems it's always a non dirty player who get it's for his teams actions (Savard for Boston). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyJoeJoeJr. Shabadoo Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Give the guy a break, not everyone is sentenced to watching the most boring series. wPG went back and did his homework- got it right.

NikiShiz Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Phoenix Coyotes forward Raffi Torres has been suspended indefinitely, pending an in-person hearing on Friday, for his hit on Marian Hossa of the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 3 on Tuesday night. The hearing, which had been planned for Wednesday, was deferred at the request of Torres and the NHL Players' Association. As a result of the hit, Hossa was carried off the ice on a stretcher, taken to hospital for tests and later released. He is expected to recover completely, but there is no timetable for his return. Torres was not penalized on the play. "It was a brutal hit," said Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks.brad Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Cheap and dirty but not injure (Raymond injury was still more of a freak I think). Brown didn't jump when he hit hank or hit late (NHL has a rough .5 second rule and Brown was at .3 while Torres was at .83). Also Brown was not targeting the head and Torres definitely was. Torres is honest to god gutless, I didn't care for him in Vancouver just because he would leave his feet when hitting way to often for my liking. You have to factor in Torres history too. He was suspended/fined twice twice this year + his previous years also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanev's Smirk Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I totally agree with all your points. the raymond incident was a freak incident. it was not similar to the brown hit...torres LEFT his feet and jumped. im glad he is suspended indefinitely. to those cheering, hang your head in shame...you NEVER want to see this.
