Anybody else notice that the Blackhawks' stadium staff was playing "Where the Streets have no Name" coming out of the final TV timeout? It even sounded like the Chicago crowd liked it. :fullofwin:

The thing is...refs only gave him a 2 min penelty.

Had they called a 5 min major.... would a suspension be more eminent?

The way nhl head office give suspensions ...you have no idea what they will do..was it worse than Stolls hit from behind? not a chance!!

^ the call on the ice has no bearing on whether the league will hand down a suspension.

Turco in game 4? Give the nuck fans what they want. :troll:

I think it does...maybe it didn't on Torres' last hit on eberle..but in the past...it has..check the suspensions and non suspentions..

I'm sure the league will take the torres hit as an opportunity to set yet another (high) standard which they have no intentions to following through with on subsequent infractions.

I think suspensions have even been given on hits that the ref didn't see - therefore no penalty was called.

It might not have been worse than Stolls hit - but it could have been. Both are dangerous hits. Remember that he has been penalized on it before - so it's not likely that he'll get off without a suspension.

is torres hit worse than ANY of these "best" ones?


league is fucked up right now and i dont like it, shit like what happened today can cost teams games/series

regardless of what the league decides about the Torres hit there are far too many arm chair athletes here. Clean, solid hockey play, not interference because the puck was at the Chicago player and he followed through on the hit. There was no intent, nothing careless done by Torres. If anything Seabrook or his teammates should have made him more aware of an incoming check.

we are all canucks, even the hawks' ice chicks

in the old NHL, those hits and Torres hit woulda been fine..
new NHL..dont even think about it.

How will the league handle Scott Stevens if the hit on Kariya was being ruled today. What about Brian Campbell on RJ Umberger..
or Corey Sarich on Patrick Marleau(speaking of which, Marleau was a BEAST in that game. I think he scored right after the hit..or the shift after the hit...)

Hit No. 2 on Kariya would definitely have been a blindside hit in today's standards.

He never touched the puck. Read rule on interference. ://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26348

That's what makes me mad..

We as fans..the media...the players themselves..have no idea what is suspendable or what isnt'....

He'll get suspended though...i think more than 2 games..maybe 3?

if torres get suspended for that hit, should nhl take scott stevens out of the hockey hall of fame? :troll:

thats what torres did to seabrook today

Seabrook didn't look good after that 2nd Torres hit

the olympics are in 2014...im ok with how he is right now :troll:

Hmm I retract what I said earlier about Torres hit on the blind side:

LOL at the old guy at the back

most likely double what he got before, so 4

There going to say it was a headshot cause the head was the main point of impact, which is what they wanna get rid of.
