To add...some were saying if Smith had been injured it would have been 5 games for Shaw. This would have been a great tradeoff for Chicago...we lose a 3rd liner and they lose their stud goalie...every team would take that!
EDIT: And this is with the NHL assuming the hit was intentional (I do not agree)
Torres should be out for the playoffs. And first twenty games of the season. Jumping late headshot by a player with a known history of headshots. There should almost be a way to suspend other members of the team to make sure **** like that stops happening.

Well with Detroit, Vancouver and Pittsburgh on the verge of elimination, these playoffs have surely taken an interesting turn. 57% of my playoff pool is between those 3 teams
Honestly I think the fact that he got the head was incidental, but the fact that he leapt into him is definitely a suspendable offense.
He leaped into Hossa's head. That looked pretty intentional to me. The NHL really needs to crack down on this ****. The fact that these guys get 3-5 games for hits like this while star players are knocked out for months due to concussions is the reason we keep seeing them.

I only saw it quickly from two different angles, but I thought it looked like he wasn't trying to jump into his head, just into his body and incidentally got Hossa's head.
That downright headhunting by Torres is what the Canucks are missing, to be totallt honest with you. ****in retarded we let him go, and picked up Marco Sturm for $2 million after even.

You mean you wish we had those momentum shifting hits like the one on Seabrook? Oh, wait. That shifted momentum in their favour. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
