i lost datsyuk/zetterberg in my playoff pool. Now the rest of the roster is full of Canucks/Penguins/Rangers. I'll be lucky to escape the first round with anyone left, hahaha.

Damn dirty bertuzzi, your fault.

Any team with Big Bert does terrible in the playoffs.
This guy has never won anything in all his hockey years.

Even Team Canada sucked when that disgrace was on it.

He's not as bad as the Bouwmeester curse...

whoa 25 games for Torres, shanahan laying the hammer down

Makes me upset that Keith only got 5, and all non playoff games. The elbow to the head was more of a direct intent to injure. I understand Torres is a repeat offender and has a history, but the NHL is essentially saying you get 2 free passes to knock stars out of the game before we lower the ban hammer on you.

agreed. Its going to make it harder for the NHL to justify things like the $2500 fine to weber.

That suspension is BS.
This league is a joke.

The hit wasn't that bad, no where near 25 games. The two-tier suspension system is just pathetic.

Congratulations Torres, your hit is considered worse than stalking a player around the ice, sucker punching him from behind, and driving him face first into the ice.
It is worse than a deliberate two-handed chop to the head of an opponent (well, this suspension was a full year, but no team signed McSorely)

It is worse than a huge bodycheck/boarding while a player is celebrating a goal (way after the play ended).

Apparently Shanny wanted to go heavy with the banhammer, but the owners/GMs made him tone it down.
Maybe they're giving him free reign again?

P.S. that hit wasn't late. It was less than a second after Hossa lost the puck, he spun into the hit.
Yeah, Torres has a reputation, but that hit was foreseeable.

Yeah, that curse is pretty bad (sorry for so many posts in a row).

ya its a shitty suspension, even if he didn't leave his feet I think the out come would have been the same

He's just got those many games to be an example.
The playoffs were getting too rough, then you get a scrub with a history hitting a star. Major suspension = less incidents later.

its too bad for phoenix cause Torres is good playoff player

Wow.... stupid, stupid and stupid suspension. So if a late hit = 25 games... I wonder how a clear headshot will have? Way too late, unless he keep the 25 games minimum for lesser incident forever.

We should see what a clear headshot gets tonight.
Look at Neil's hit on Boyle.

That was just pure dirty.
