Official, no suspension, or even a hearing, for Torres. Did not violate RUle 48. You'll see sources soon enough.

I am surprised NHL made a good call for once.

Yes in your face hawks

sweet!! I thought for sure the NHL would use this chance to pounce on us...

oh wow! that's pretty awesome haha.. (for us anyways :D)

Good on the NHL. If they suspended torres that would basically say to all the players in the league that u dont have to pay attention to the play n u dont have to keep your head up

Funny how everyone on CBC was calling suspension, esp Ron McLean.

:2finger:

Fucken wicked, they must be choked right now lol

Hooray!

I think every annoucer and broadcaster aside from Gary Valk, John Garrett and Bob mckenzie believed he should be suspended

Ron McLean is a douche... when it comes to anything related to officiating.

Most of the broadcasters thought it was a hockey play but most of them thought the NHL would be stupid and suspend him anyways.

It was a hockey play. There's a part of the rule that says the back of the net is considered more of a hitting area anyways.

uh oh. Perhaps watch out for some classless retaliation in game 4.

WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!

Torres has been my dark horse since he went on that little scoring streak at the beginning of the season. Although he hasn't produced as much as I would've liked, I can always count on him playing hard and finishing checks. After his big hit on Seabrook, my buddies thought he might start to ease up but I knew he would play his game. Next thing you know BAMMM another big hit on Seabrook.

I do hope the refs take close note on what the Hawks mentality will be for the 4th game. They're deflated, frustrated, must win and now probably real pissed. I wouldn't be surprised if they come after a few of our top players.

He needs a nickname. Wrecking Ball, Rabid Dog, Tasmanian Devil....

edit: BTW nice commentating by CBC and the Hawks, calling it a suspension before even seeing the replay....douchebags

I think most of the people calling for a suspension were doing so because of his history

^ he had no history of suspensions prior to this most recent one on Eberle.

Chicago Media is conceeding hahahahhaha:

ya.. torres is a clean, hard playing forward.

love how all the haters think he has a history just cause he got one suspension on the weak sauce eberle hit.

They got it right.

What was fucking gross IMO last night was how right after that hit they had that video already qued up of him
Hitting some guy when he was on edmonon

Glen healey is a hack and he made himself look like an idiot last night

I cant wait till Saturday see what cherry has to say

KIDS, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. :fullofwin:


Props to Torres for having the balls to go and play the way he always has,
and to stand up for what he believes. Many players, after coming out of a
suspension will ease up a bit in fear of getting suspended again... especially
during playoffs. He knew eyes were gonna be on him, and first game back,
he says: Problem? :troll: And starts dishing out hard hits once again.

These guys need to get facts right. There was no elbow... Idiots.

Cherry will prob say something like this

^

hahaha.. i can already picture him saying that

Raffi Torres new nickname "The Raging Mexicanimal"

Wasn't there a similar hit on Edler last year? It caused him to leave in game 6.

LOL i was waiting for someone to do the "what would don cherry say"
