KFBR392 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 If Torres made the same play the NHL would suspend him from planet earth for an entire millennium. That's a blatant and dirty play. He should be gone for the series. When you intentionally hit someone in the face with your hockey stick you deserve a stiff punishment. That's borderline assault. Especially for a repeat offender with a direct history of retaliatory penalties. That being said, he will probably get a $500 fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avicii Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 That was pretty stupid... Jeez, what has happened to Keith? Norris defenseman one year to cheap shots and dirty crap the next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Suspend him. It's not much different from Chris Simon's crosscheck to the face of Ryan Hollweg. If anything, you can argue it was more dangerous as he carelessly committed a wild one handed swing that could have taken out one of Carter's eyes.

The Magician Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Intent to injure and a repeat offender. Do I think he should? Yes. Do I think he will? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACIC Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Carter should have no one to blame but himself, when you do something like slash Duncan Keith in wrist and you know he is messed up and part caveman, you know whats gonna happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 People are overreacting, saying he was aimming for his head. It was more of the shoulder area and the tip of his blade caught Carter's face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avicii Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 But yes, this is nothing imo. Carter sold it pretty hard.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spliced Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yes it is suspension worthy. I don't know what Mike Johnson was taking about, I've never heard anyone claim that you can avoid suspension through repeated apologizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Burrows 14 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Was a little one handed chop in the heat of the battle....nothing compared to the old days. Carter deserved something, d*ck move on his part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I appreciate that he apologized. While I believe that he did intend to smack Carter, I don't think he intended to hit him that hard, or in the face for that matter. I've actually gained some respect for Keith as a result of this. Not suspendable, but it was worth the double-minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Why would a retaliatory Keith intentionally slash Carter's shoulder pad? Assuming Carter would even notice, what would it accomplish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Keith should be suspended for every dirty act he does because it's always with intent to injure. The more suspensions, the better. Especially considering he got just a slap on the wrist for his hit on Daniel. (Something that would have a guy like Torres banned for 100 games) He won't get anything though. The league doesn't want him to have another suspension for the recordbooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFBR392 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I don't know, watch the video, maybe? You can see the end shaft of his stick got his shoulder, taking most of the impact, and the blade got his face. If Keith slashed the side of Carter's face, he would be down for minutes, but instead he got up pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampage Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 "It was an accident" Oh yeah ? so was Hansen's love tap to Hossa's head. If Hansen gets suspended for that this should 100% be a suspension. His intent was to slash him up high. I want Chicago to win the series but fck duncan keith. #repeatoffender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 If Hansen gets suspended for barely bumping into Hossa this should get 5+ games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 You need to watch that video again. That's a stick to the face. That being said, you missed my point entirely. Even if he did hit his shoulder - which he clearly didn't - you would be an idiot to argue that the intended point of contact was the shoulder. He was clearly targeting the head.

Durl Dixsun Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 What was he trying to accomplish by hitting his shoulder? To get his attention, maybe? What was he trying to accomplish by targeting the head? Ending someone's career? Getting suspended for 20+ games knowing you're 6 games away for winning the Cup? I think Keith is smart enough to take option A, like most NHL superstars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
