Late hit
left feet
shoulder to head

thats interference and or charging in one shot

leaving your feet is a big nono to begin with

but hey... the shanaban better lay the smack down on this.
either way, people wont be happy with his decision.

The idea that 0.83 seconds is "late" is kinda :fulloffuck:

I thought leaving your feet was OK if it happens after contact... Did they change that rule?

Torres' hit was NOT after contact.

I decided to run the wheel of justice on this (NHL Wheel of Justice) and turned playoff mode on. 1 game?:accepted:

Just watched all the dirty plays so far ( torres, neal, asham, weber, shaw etc). What a joke. I am going to have to agree with the "Analyst's" and say it all started with the Weber head slam and the 2500 fine.

NFL is far far superior when it comes to everything regarding rules.

Seeing as it's a non-star player hitting a all-star player, it'll most likely be more.

repeat offender with a history of the exact same type of on the edge/over the edge play. 5 games because shanny is going to finally send a message and torres is the perfect guy for it.

+ 1

I also like how lots of times the NHF officials use the microphone to explain his reasoning.

If we publicly reprimand officials in the NHL, that would improve the game. They also need a better commissioner that hands out better suspensions/ fines.

Edit: BTW, did anyone listen to shannys explaination for the Neil suspension?

"willing to accept Neil's assertion that on this play he jumped to brace himself for an UNINTENDED collision"


WTF??????

He's not the perfect candidate to use as an example, because people expect it. Weber would have been the perfect example.

If Rome gets 4 games in the fucking STANLEY CUP FINALS, then Torres should get at least 5.

Rome's hit was:

- late
- shoulder is the primary area of contact, also makes contact with the head halfway through.
- leaves feet (not a lot either) caused by contact
- blindside due to Horton not looking straight ahead
- resulted in a concussion, player stretchered off the ice

Torres' hit was:

- late
- shoulder to jaw as the primary area of contact as well as the chest
- leaves his feet before contact
- blindside due to Hossa not looking straight ahead
- player stretchered off the ice, probably concussion or other head injury.

feel bad for hossa, he was having a great year.. he usually misses time from injuries but basically played a full season this year.. had him in my pool and he was solid

Glenn Healy ‏ @GlennHealyCBC

Blackhawks upset with hit on Hossa. In other news, Daniel Sedin still hasn't played since being elbowed in the head by Duncan Keith. #NHL

I would disagree on that. I had to pause and stop at the frame where initial contact was made. His feet or at least his right foot was completely on the ice on initial contact. But yea, he probably did jump/or lunge at him.

I think if you look at the other angle (90 degrees to that one...), it looks more like Torres just jumps at Hossa.

So anxious for tomorrow nights game.... :eek5r::eek5r::eek5r:

i feel for the blackhawks..:pokerface::troll: not really...

karma's a bitch. Hossa can blame Keith for his headaches

can we all hold hands tomorrow? :(

RS meet for game 3? :troll:

:drunk:

Fuck this karma bullshit
im sorry guys, i been a Canucks fan, but a Hockey fan first
What if Daniel's attempt to elbow Keith prior did leave Keith with a concussion...
I said that the 5 games Keith got meant nothing really because it didnt explain ANYTHING. Such as was there an intent lead by prior said incident and so forth. The public will never know. Keith coulda gotten 10 games and none of the homer fans would be happy.

Now all the "hockey fans" come out and said BOOHOO poor Hossa, or those bitches deserved it. A bad hit is a bad hit. It doesnt matter how many games Torres or Weber got because its too late to "set an example"

Whatever the case may be, this hit doesnt belong in hockey, but as long as shit like this happens here and there, NBC will see their ratings continue to go up because this is the shit that gets hockey on the map for americans.

The NHL is becoming a BUSHLEAGUE until someone sets some consistency with discipline

Pretty awesome new Johnny Canuck video.

Aside from the Torres hit.

I was reading a tweet that Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Vancouver are combined 1-9 in these playoffs. :fulloffuck:

IF, just IF... Daniel play tomorrow and we win.. at least he is got 3 days to recover

:)
