Old time playoff hockey.......... people should be losing their teeth, man.

great chance for the sedins there.

on a side note, if torres gets suspended i would still be happy to see hodgson back in the lineup. seabrook off to the dressing room.. torres for seabrook would not be a bad trade off.

a blindside hit is a hit from west to east not neccessarily head down

[spoon.ek9]

i fully expect torres will get 2 games for the hit. clean or not, it was a blindside hit which is exactly what the league has been cracking down on.

[dbaz]

seabrook turned into the hit kind of like hamhuis turned into the boards earlier in the season. shouldnt be a suspension but knowing the nhl he will get a worse suspension than stoll.

Torres just came back from a suspension and he plays for the Canucks.

Generally, repeat offender first game back from last suspension so 4 games or more.

I need another look at that hit. During the game, I thought it was clean?
Wasn't Seabrook just looking down while playing the puck along the boards?

I kept getting pissed every time I saw Seabrook back on the ice.
I was thinking "Torres, Hit him again!!"

What was that 15 min dressing room rule the commentator kept talking about? I'm not familiar with anything like that?

Not only that but an AV made a smart move on calling a timeout on the 1st period.

Hawks were starting to run the game and was just about to enter a 5 on 3 pp. Pretty ballsy as usually coaches reserve timeouts only for late 3rd period.

Also to add note: Canucks were in 1st Period down only 1 goal and AV spotted it could've been a turning point had Hawks gotten 2 up.

Wow, looking at the box scores - Kane had a TOI of 26:15 - more than anybody on our team.

The highest on the Nucks was Burrows with 19:53, but that's with a lot of PK as well...

You would think that Quenneville would play him less if he's not producting :troll:

Also you should know by now that the league has never made consistant suspensions

[woob]

IMO it's a blindside headshot. The league is going to pick a number out of a hat, and I don't think it's going to be 0.

[quasi]

Chicago called that timeout before the 5-on-3

Yup, and Canucks didn't use theirs late in the 3rd because they didn't want to give the Hawks a chance to put a play together.

[SkinnyPupp]

They have been consistent with blindsides though.. I think he'll get a game or 2... But since this is his first game back after a 4 game suspension, maybe they'll throw the book at him?

[AzNightmare]

Shit, I dunno, someone educate me on hockey. I don't see how was that even a dirty hit.
Guy's head was down, looking away. Didn't even hit him into the boards. :confused:

So if Canucks started skating up ice with their heads looking behind at their own asses, and they get hit, that's a blindsided hit?

Can someone define what is considered "blindside"
Cause if someone's receiving or making a pass and looking away and gets
run over, is that considered blindside?

[murd0c]

I guess if Torres does get a suspension we at least have nothing to be concerned about since he missed the first two games and we played great. The bright side is at least Hodgson can come back as he is a natural center.

[Tim Budong]

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!!

[woob]

^ 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..

[tonyzoomzoom]

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

[scottsman]

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.

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'....

[MR_BIGGS]

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

[shawn79]

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

[MR_BIGGS]

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

most likely double what he got before, so 4

[RiceIntegraRS]

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.

Bob McKenzie's take on the hit.

My first reaction was classic case of Rule 48. Blindside hit, principal point of contact to head or targeted head shot. That's my view, BUT... When NHL GMs created Rule 48, they allowed the area behind the net as a "hitting area" and players need to be more aware than, say, in neutral zone.

In March/2010, a DVD went to players, coaches, and GMs saying exactly that with far more latitude given on hits behind net on unsuspecting players. In other words, as one NHL GM told me tonight, a hit behind the net is viewed more like a north-south hit than an east-west neutral zone hit.

The other big issue is principal point of contact. Was it a straight on body check where the shoulder also struck the head or was it a head shot? Remember, in the NHL, there are circumstances where a shoulder hitting an unsuspecting or vulnerable player in the head is entirely legal.

So what happens now? The NHL will review it and, IMO, 1 of 2 things will happen. Torres (repeat offender), gets LONG suspension OR he goes free. My prediction of what happens based on the DVD sent out and the "hitting area" rationale, is as follows: I don't believe he'll be suspended.

My personal opinion, based on Torres' penchant for hitting people in head, is that he should be suspended. But I don't think he will be. Finally, opinions are well and good, we all have them, but I see my job more to provide insight than rant a view. Hope I offered something.

We will know for certain in the morning where it stands. G'nite and try not to let emotion make you act like a twit on Twitter.
