@MP3Mix, wow, such hostility. Actually, I love contact sports; hockey, football and MMA, I even played football in high school and loved the physicality of it all. However, you need to have rules in place or what's the point? You might as well just have gladiator games (which would be cool to see). The point is that Torres is notoriuos for his cheap shots. He got a penalty for it so obviously it was not a hit within the rules.
@Bollockch0ps actually i wouldn't be too worried about saying it to his face. i'd only be worried if i had my head down or my back turned, cause that's the only time Torres will do anything. bet you loved him throwing an elbow at Jordan Eberle, what a tough guy Torres is.
@daddydecember You either hate Vancouver because, 1 )your a Chicago Fan, 2) Vancouver took your team out of the playoffs, or 3) Bieksa or Torres laid out your favorite players.
@mbw4444 Do you not understand that Seabrook's head was down? and do you not SEE WITH YOUR FUCKING EYES that they were both going for the puck, what the hell is Torres supposed to do high five him? Hockey is a physical sport. If you wanna watch some "safer" sports ping pongs always an option.
@MP3Mix Torres was going for the hit, not the puck, which is fine, it is hockey. This hit was slightly early, making it an interference call, and with an injury the game. The refs got it right with the call on the ice, and the league got it right with no suspension.
@MP3Mix if torres was going for the puck why would be be going that fucking fast thru behind the net other than to hit seabrook? OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES
@ImAlwaysBeaming I never saw this hit until now and I have to say I don't think it was. first off Seabrook was facing away from Torres leaning towards the puck. In all likely hood his head may have been contacted but it would not have been the initial point of contact. Further more Seabrook is a PRO pee-wee players know better then to go into the boards and not check where their opponents are. Seabrook then proceeds to turn his head leaving himself WIDE OPEN for a blindside hit? (kids mistakes)
this is hockey yo... nottin wrong wit that hit, Seabrooks a retard for not keepin his chin up against a player who really plays hockey, Torres said he wont change the way he plays, why cuz thats how hockey shud b played, that douche got back up also, he wasnt injured or nottin, clean hit, perfect hit
should have hip checked him, that way, it wouldnt have been called for a high hit, elbow, or what ever bullshit people are saying, and he would have went flying:)
It takes skill to be able to take a hit too. Some guys are unfortunate and get caught watching. Its no coincidence that Patrice Bergeron has had his clock cleaned several times...he's caught puck watching, or just simply not ready to take a hit in a contact sport.
LOL , where at any point did his shoulder touch seabrook's chest, oh wait it didnt.. shoulder/elbow to the head , sorry but ya can see it in the video and it was a blindside hit.. jus sayin
man watching the nashville - canucks series I can really say that the Canucks stepped up the hitting a lot for the Chicago series. Some of the biggest hits I've seen the Canucks make and they were pretty awesome as was this one. Its just not the same against the preds =/. Chicago was fun to watch and play against.
good players get taken out and miss games cuz of peace of shit players like Torres that play 9 MINUTES IN A FUCKING GAME that feel the need to make dirty head shots....shoulda gave this clown 10 games maybe this head shot nonsense will stop...to all the dumb asses that think this was not worth a suspension...give your head a shake or try playing the game for once...not too hard to control how u hit a player...
I'm a Canucks fan and even I'll say that was a good call on the refs part. This is exactly the type of hit they are trying to get rid of. What is completely retarded was the fact the the Bickell hit on Bieksa wasn't called...
gotta keep your head up. plain and simple. seabrook has the puck, but his head was down. ever since peewees coaches preach to keep your head up with the puck. and from what i seen, torres didnt leave his feet, so no charge. headshot, also no because he drove his shoulder through seabrook's chest. clean hit.
thats a dirty hit torres plays in the nhl he could have easily hit him body to body instead of going for his head. i play hockey and fucking reck kids and i know that he could have made that body to body instead of just going for the part of his body that his head is on. and torres is a fuckin fagget!
@MrScooter06, not e verytime a guy gets bundled is it a friggen intent to injure, jesus, people need to realize that hitting is the best way to separate a player from a puck, and when a player does it well it doesnt mean he was trying to injure the guy. there are so few plays a year in which there is actual intent to injure and those are the most easily recognizable plays because you see a violent act of a stick chop or punches thrown not a solid body check.
Good fucking hit. Yes I am a Vancouver fan, but remeber Seabrooks a good Canadian boy. No one wanted hit to get a concussion but that was just a solid hit. It only looks worse because it's open ice.
Good fucking hit. Yes I am a Vancouver fan, but remeber Seabrooks a good Canadian boy. No one wanted hit to get a concussion but that was just a solid hit.
All I can say if this is an ok hit then Van should watch out for payback, because it's a bitch! Hawks should play as if it were the 60's/70's, chop down one of the sisters, break a wrist with a slash, whatever it takes! That my friends is the way real hockey is played! If you condone the hit, no matter how the rule is written, saying "that's hockey", then accept payback cheap shots, alllll in the name of the game!
i hate that blindside rule but it is a rule. however, stop bitchin, it is playoff hockey. stop with that human deceny stuff. protecting a player is vital, but hits like this r goin to happen. the game is over, the hit has been made, and the Canucks lead the series 3 to 1. Canuck nation stand up!!!
@GriffinD41 I don't want to rub it in son, but Canucks nation never sat down. Keep up on the Blackhawks golfing stats for me. u can post em if u want bruh. lol. Canucks nation stand up!!! (Sorry)
Yall fuckin idiots, its not about legal or illegal hit, he got in the fucking head. Protect the player you dumb asses. How would you feel if you get hit in the head you fuckin unintelligent waste to society. Know the rules, What rules? The one that the front office makes that doesn't follow their words. WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!
Torres us a POS that makes Shane Churla look like a Rhodes Scholar. We need a Probert or Dave Manson type player to teach this punk a lesson. Phuck the Canucks for supporting this crap. Shame on you NHL for not doing anything about it, you make me want to puke on a Canuck fan's face or at least in their Louis Vitton man purses or any low life idiot that can't see anything wrong.
if anyone here thinks this was a dirty play has obviously never played hockey and should consider watching a sport like curling. im a blackhawks fan but inreality seabrook turned his head skateing behind the net and got caught with a "legal" hit because of it!!! nothing wrong with that hit whatsover.
@Classick604 Really you're a blackhawks fan? U're probably a bandwagon just like most of their fans that showed up to the Championship rally last summer. Goin back to the hit, look up a few post and you'll see my post.
@WahsUp yeah i seen your post and its clear you've never played hockey. torres didnt leave his feet or get his elbow up so its clear to me his intent wasnt to injure or deliver a headshot to seabrook. its 2 minutes for interference at the most and that what he got. like i said before you should consider watching curling if you cant handle a big hit! anyways Go Blackhawks Go!!
@Classick604 U're a fuckin idiot like i said.. I'm not goin to waste my time on a piece of shit like u. Its ok its hard to admit that u're wrong that's bcus u're not man enough to admit it. U fuckin (insert meo meo).
@Classick604 Yeahhhhhhh have played the game since I was 6, that would be 40yrs. Hit was not illegal but was a deliberate attempt to injure.NHL H.O. said no penalty so that's the way it goes.Hawks though showed and should show that the hit should not go unnoticed and should take down a Cancuck.In my day payback was expected for that kinda hit! And that is HOCKEY and not curling! Next game Hawks should have gone out to injure a Canuck,period!
Yeah, okay. Torres is a piece of trash. He cheap shots, then argues and whines like a little bitch when he gets called for something. I hope someone takes his ass out! Vancouver does not need a POS on their team like Torres.
Vancouver would have swept the Hacks had it not been for this cheap shot on Seabrook. After this game Chicago came back fired up and with a vengeance.
@Classick604 ur a plug bud....doesnt touch the puck...2 Minutes Interference....CLEARLY A HEADSHOT...discretionary call....looking back to receive the puck...discretionary call........the fact is he is a dirty player..looking for an injury hit...if u watch the play he clearly aims for the head has the whole left side of seabrooks body to make a hit shoulder to shoulder..repeat offender shoulda got at least a game....Classick604 give your head a shake theres a reason he got a concussion you tool
@Classick604 so in your opinion that wasnt a hit to the head? ive played hockey for 10 years and at any level that would be called a penalty. the commentator hit it dead on, in TODAY'S game it's a suspension because any hit to the head is an ILLEGAL hit.
@crosbyfanatic87 we'll then chara should be suspended everytime he hits a guy, because he's so much taller then everyone else almost all his hits are to the head, torres never jumped and seabrook got caught with his head down!
@crosbyfanatic87 no, any hit to the head is not an illegal hit, please no the rules before you talk. This isn't minor hockey, in the nhl, it's not a headshot if somones head was down. It's called hockey, and it's a physical game. Keep your head up, or get recked.
It was a clean body check from a mechanical perspective. Shoulder to chest. Incidental contact with the head is irrelevant. Seabrook should have been aware of his surroundings, ESPECIALLY behind the net!
The only reason that his head is hurting is because it bounced off the ice, and like an idiot he decided to keep playing without letting trainers diagnose any potential concussion (i.e. violating concussion protocol)
That is interference at most......charging? where? he was gliding across the ice and stayed on his feet. Headshot? How can you go more shoulder to chest than Raffi went, its up to the other player where to position his head, Torres is going in to make a offensive hit , to the front of the guy's body with his shoulder and arms down, and the guy has hit head in the way....Seabrook's fault. All defenseman are taught from little kids to keep their head up. That is a clean, hard body check
@Renazabank When you hit someone when they aren't looking at all, you are a straight up pussy. Raffi Torres already got suspended for a pussy hit to eberle's head. Torres should take a hit to the head himself then he'll know how much of a puss he really is. He's not tough, he just takes cheapshots.
I'm sick of the pussification of the NHL. 10 years ago this hit would be on the highlight videos. Torres didn't break any rules except interference, the hit was early. The head shot is out of the question, they were going head on, it was not a LATERAL BLINDSIDE HIT, which the new rule states that is illegal when with contact to the head, colin cambell made the decision. Seabrook is a great D-man, its the playoffs, keep ya head up, and torres will be watching his own back next game.
Also, the only reason it wasnt a major penalty was because Seabs got up quickly. And sometimes you gotta look at a players history. This was not Torres' first offence, or his second, or his third.....You can't just go around trying to kill people :P Yeah, hockeys a fast paced game and mistakes are made but his intentions seemed pretty clear: KILL SEABROOK
Im a chicago fan but i like Vancouver. In fact after Canucks beat out Hawks ill be cheering for them(not happily, but cheering all the same) The hit: I didnt expect Torres would get into any trouble but i think it deserved a major penatly. Yes, Seabs had his head down but there was no reason for Torres to get his shoulder up so high. I don't care how you look at it, it was a dirty hit. maybe not illegal, but dirty. He was aiming for Seabs head. No question. Wantta fight about it?!?!
Im a Chiacgo fan but i like Vancouver. In fact after vancouver beats out Chicago I'll be cheering for them to get the cup(not happily, but cheering all the same) The hit: I didn't expect for Torres to get in any trouble but i think it should have been a major penalty.

Watch the first camera view, Does not touch it. Gets hit right before it even hits his stick and then it goes by because he did not even touch it. Hence the right call.
@BRBBOWFLEXINL4D is torres soposed to wait the half a second for seabrook to touch the puck no hes gunna hit him the puck is right there next to him good enough for me
LOL wow. Yes, yes he is suppose to wait for him to get the puck. Thats kinda what the rule of interference is. It says you have to hit the guy with the puck, not the guy that almost has the puck.
Well, then thats fine, you don't have to care, you can think that if you want, but in the NHL they don't care what you think, only what the rule book says. And the rulebook says you have to touch the puck. So sorry.
@bolland36 You can clearly watch the video and theres clearly no elbow going to the head. What are you talking about in regards to an elbow. Its not there man.
@Squish888 true, while i still think this is a dirty hit, bickell's was questionable as well so i suppose you can call it even. good luck in the rest of the playoffs bro.
hey, let me sucker punch you possibly cracking your face wide open when your not looking, that's dirty right? of course it is it's catching somebody off guard, well, this is the same thing! it's called a blindside hit...DIRTY. A former NHL referee, Glen Healy and Grabner all said it deserves a suspension.
These hits a "bad" because the pros don't follow the simplest rule in hockey, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. I don't think anything is wrong with these hits unless they are too the head but if some dumbass is to lazy to pick his head up then he deserves to get clocked.
His body is facing torres, his head is not, Not a blind side hit.... If seabrook was facing the other direction, body and all then I would say differently, keep your head up Brent, your in the NHL buddy, big boys play...
all the people thinking this is dirty does not know what dirty is and what is not. yes it was a hit to head but elbow is hard bone and got a shell that protects the elbow from landing on ice and hurting and bruising it. hince why the elbow is much more dangerous. torres hit him with the arm where there is no padding at all, and its just muscle hitting seabrook. hince why he got up so quick after it and didn't feel hurt after the hit. it is not dirty at all.
@lilrobtom22 It's totally a dirty hit. It wouldn't have been dirty if Seabrook touched the puck, then he'd have deserved it. Refs made the right call, though if Torres gets a suspension, that's bullshit.
please PLEASE watch the raffi torres hit on hockeyfanatik72 first then stop it at 0:49 what do you say then after he was pretty lined up with seabrook? He had his head infront of his body, what do you want him to do? From cbc camera its BRUTAL from versus at 0:49 it seems so legit
If physics taught you anything that when you strick head on or straight down onto another object you weither cancel each other out ,move forward with the motion of the checker or deflict off to the side
Idiot had his head down, but that was a straight headshot. I figured Torres would have learned the NHL was cracking down on headshots after that (disgustingly dirty) Eberle hit, I guess not.
I do agree completely that Seabrook's head was down and he got what was coming. But I have a tough time justifying anything a dirty fuck like Torres does.
This hit is 100% Legal. The only thing is it was completely brutal and wasn’t really needed. The hit hurt but, doesn’t go against the official rule if you UNDERSTAND it completely, those who don’t and haven’t read the actual rule are the ones complaining.
LOL, Bull shit. Rule says you have to have the puck. I knew this was interference the second I saw it, CBC knew it, CSN knew it, the coaches knew it, the refs never thought twice, seriously, its picture perfect interference. Starting to really disrespect some of the Nuck fans now. Its not only an illegal hit, it was a dirty hit with intent to injure. My hopes where with Vancouver for the cup, but playing this style, I only hope for them to fail now. Pittiful way to win it.
@Kartkid024 Lol typical fucking bandwagon jumping nucks fan, Claim you're a supporter, and claim you want them to win it, then change your mind to try and be politically correct. If the Canucks do win it, you'll be right there taking part in a celebration saying 'yeah how bout those nucks'. The call on the ice was correct, if Seabrook doesn't touch the puck, then ok I can see an interference call, but even that's a grey area, if he didn't go face down, then there wouldn't be a call at all.
Umm.... I'm not a nucks fan. But even if I was, whats wrong with being politically correct. Support what you think is right, don't support what you think is wrong. Yes the call on the ice was correct (the legth of the penalty was wrong), the decision to not suspend him was a confusing one. Poor judgement by the NHL. No if he just gets bumped with out the puck then they won't call interference, thats not what the rule was intended for. But he got drilled, you hae to call it.
@Kartkid024 It wasn't a BS interference call, I remember it, Seabrook was very late and obstructed the Vancouver player after the puck was long gone, that is classic interference. And you can't have a 5 minute interference penalty by the way. They did call it, they got it right, 2 minutes is good, no suspension. The lack of suspension is not confusing at all, the NHL has always explained that behind the net is a hitting zone, you have to be aware of who's around you, Seabrook was not aware.
He got hit after he cleared the puck, seabrook finished his hit. I've seen a lot worse never called. And yes you can get a 5 minute major for interference, the rule book says it can be called based on the degree of violence. Huge head shot in the corner, don't see players hit much harder from an interference play than that. He didn't hold him up, he drilled him. As far as no suspention, so now its only ok to hit guys in the head behind the net. Wow, thanks for caring NHL
@Kartkid024 That might be in the rule book the five minute major, but if in the opinion of the referee, violence is involved, ie. elbow, knee, skate or stick use, then it becomes a 10 minute game misconduct. I have never seen a 5 minute interference call. Torres's hit was not violent therefore 2 minute minor is good.
The rule says the degree of violence from the interference call. If he got elbowed, kneed, slashed, ect then that would be the degree of violence from the elbowing, kneeing, slashing ect. The call was interference, the hit is what cased that call. So what your saying is he laid him out, but it wasn't a violent hit. That makes no sense. The game misconduct only comes if an injury occures. And yes a 5 minute major has been called on an interference, look at kronwall on Havlat.
@Kartkid024 That's exactly what I'm saying, the actions of Torres are clean, the result is what looks violent. He just cruised through there, no charging, no leading with the elbow or knee and didn't get him with his stick. Good call.
@Kartkid024 The NHL clearly stated that in the 'hitting zone' behind the net, hitters that lead with their shoulder and do not leave their feet will not be punished in the same way as an open ice east/west hit. Defencemen have to have their head up and be aware.
And again, if that what they state (Guess interference doesn't apply to this rule, which makes no sense but what ever), then I again have to say, so let me get this right, its not ok to hit a guy in the head unless its behind the net. Doesn't really make logical sense to me. I thought the purpose of the head shot rule was to protect the players. Shouldn't it apply everywhere. Guess thats where my problem is.
@Kartkid024 I don't have a problem with politically correctness, I do have a problem with people that by their own admission aren't fans and then chime in when something like this happens. If you were really standing up for what you believe in then you wouldn't watch the nucks right? Shouldn't you have made a stand after the Bertuzzi/Moore incident?
I watch the Hawks buddy. I'm not really worried about the suspention. It won't make any difference with Torres in or out. But I do care that they call on the ice should have been a 5 minute major that lets face it, could have easily changed the game.
@Kartkid024 The hawks actually scored on the power play when Torres was in the box to make it 2-2 so it did change the game, but the nucks are good enough to weather the storm and win the 3rd period. Oh yeah and 6 other powerplays to try and get it done for Chicago. With that sort of advantage I'd think you'd have nothing to complain about, except your own teams inability to put the puck in the net.
hawks where 29 percent on the PP. Thats a good night. Lets face it luo saved them on the 5 on 3 and a couple other times. If the hawks get a 5 minute major and scored in the first 35 seconds as they did, they still have 4:25 to score again and again. or simply get the nucks tired. I am disappointed we had no 5 on 5 goals (Louongo didn't help there) but in a game that close, a 5 minute major I think could have changed the game, and if not, would have been nice to know it.
@Kartkid024 Getting robbed by a goaltender, sounds like when Niemi came off the bench from no where and played amazing winning the series. Lou is just showing what he's made of and what has been learned over the last few years, his play is not a surprise to Vancouver fans. If you need powerplays to score and can't score 5 on 5, then you won't win, you don't deserve to win. Sure it'd be nice to know if it would have changed the game, I'd like to know the lottery numbers before they come up too.
Wow does the NHL Commisioner need a pair of motherfuckin' spectacles??? 'Were cracking down on hits to the head' - then what in the motherfuckin' world was that?? And Torres HAS NOT got a ban??? This was worse than Gillies fucking hit on Clutterbuck for fucks sake!! This was from behind and a hit to the head. Seriously NHL sort your fucking act out when it comes to dishing out bans, don't chuck them out randomly for fucks sake.

gotta keep your head up. plain and simple. seabrook has the puck, but his head was down. ever since peewees coaches preach to keep your head up with the puck. and from what i seen, torres didnt leave his feet, so no charge. headshot, also no because he drove his shoulder through seabrook's chest. clean hit.

@MrScooter06, not e verytime a guy gets bundled is it a friggen intent to injure, jesus, people need to realize that hitting is the best way to separate a player from a puck, and when a player does it well it doesnt mean he was trying to injure the guy. there are so few plays a year in which there is actual intent to injure and those are the most easily recognizable plays because you see a violent act of a stick chop or punches thrown not a solid body check.

All I can say if this is an ok hit then Van should watch out for payback, because it's a bitch! Hawks should play as if it were the 60's/70's, chop down one of the sisters, break a wrist with a slash, whatever it takes! That my friends is the way real hockey is played!

It was a clean body check from a mechanical perspective. Shoulder to chest. Incidental contact with the head is irrelevant. Seabrook should have been aware of his surroundings, ESPECIALLY behind the net!
The only reason that his head is hurting is because it bounced off the ice, and like an idiot he decided to keep playing without letting trainers diagnose any potential concussion (i.e. violating concussion protocol)
Crakkerz 10 months ago
That is interference at most......charging? where? he was gliding across the ice and stayed on his feet. Headshot? How can you go more shoulder to chest than Raffi went, its up to the other player where to position his head, Torres is going in to make a offensive hit , to the front of the guy's body with his shoulder and arms down, and the guy has hit head in the way....Seabrook's fault. All defenseman are taught from little kids to keep their head up. That is a clean, hard body check

I'm sick of the pussification of the NHL. 10 years ago this hit would be on the highlight videos. Torres didn't break any rules except interference, the hit was early. The head shot is out of the question, they were going head on, it was not a LATERAL BLINDSIDE HIT, which the new rule states that is illegal when with contact to the head, colin cambell made the decision. Seabrook is a great D-man, its the playoffs, keep ya head up, and torres will be watching his own back next game.

Also, the only reason it wasnt a major penalty was because Seabs got up quickly. And sometimes you gotta look at a players history.

all the people thinking this is dirty does not know what dirty is and what is not. yes it was a hit to head but elbow is hard bone and got a shell that protects the elbow from landing on ice and hurting and bruising it. hince why the elbow is much more dangerous. torres hit him with the arm where there is no padding at all, and its just muscle hitting seabrook. hince why he got up so quick after it and didn't feel hurt after the hit. it is not dirty at all.

If the Canucks do win it, you'll be right there taking part in a celebration saying 'yeah how bout those nucks'. The call on the ice was correct, if Seabrook doesn't touch the puck, then ok I can see an interference call, but even that's a grey area, if he didn't go face down, then there wouldn't be a call at all.
canuck4life81 10 months ago
Umm.... I'm not a nucks fan. But even if I was, whats wrong with being politically correct. Support what you think is right, don't support what you think is wrong. Yes the call on the ice was correct (the legth of the penalty was wrong), the decision to not suspend him was a confusing one. Poor judgement by the NHL. No if he just gets bumped with out the puck then they won't call interference, thats not what the rule was intended for. But he got drilled, you hae to call it.
Kartkid024 10 months ago
@Kartkid024 It wasn't a BS interference call, I remember it, Seabrook was very late and obstructed the Vancouver player after the puck was long gone, that is classic interference. And you can't have a 5 minute interference penalty by the way. They did call it, they got it right, 2 minutes is good, no suspension. The lack of suspension is not confusing at all, the NHL has always explained that behind the net is a hitting zone, you have to be aware of who's around you, Seabrook was not aware.
canuck4life81 10 months ago
@canuck4life81
He got hit after he cleared the puck, seabrook finished his hit. I've seen a lot worse never called. And yes you can get a 5 minute major for interference, the rule book says it can be called based on the degree of violence. Huge head shot in the corner, don't see players hit much harder from an interference play than that. He didn't hold him up, he drilled him. As far as no suspention, so now its only ok to hit guys in the head behind the net. Wow, thanks for caring NHL
Kartkid024 10 months ago
@Kartkid024 That might be in the rule book the five minute major, but if in the opinion of the referee, violence is involved, ie. elbow, knee, skate or stick use, then it becomes a 10 minute game misconduct. I have never seen a 5 minute interference call. Torres's hit was not violent therefore 2 minute minor is good.
canuck4life81 10 months ago
The rule says the degree of violence from the interference call. If he got elbowed, kneed, slashed, ect then that would be the degree of violence from the elbowing, kneeing, slashing ect. The call was interference, the hit is what cased that call. So what your saying is he laid him out, but it wasn't a violent hit. That makes no sense. The game misconduct only comes if an injury occures. And yes a 5 minute major has been called on an interference, look at kronwall on Havlat.
Kartkid024 10 months ago
@Kartkid024 That's exactly what I'm saying, the actions of Torres are clean, the result is what looks violent. He just cruised through there, no charging, no leading with the elbow or knee and didn't get him with his stick. Good call.
canuck4life81 10 months ago
@Kartkid024 The NHL clearly stated that in the 'hitting zone' behind the net, hitters that lead with their shoulder and do not leave their feet will not be punished in the same way as an open ice east/west hit. Defencemen have to have their head up and be aware.

And again, if that what they state (Guess interference doesn't apply to this rule, which makes no sense but what ever), then I again have to say, so let me get this right, its not ok to hit a guy in the head unless its behind the net. Doesn't really make logical sense to me. I thought the purpose of the head shot rule was to protect the players. Shouldn't it apply everywhere. Guess thats where my problem is.

@Kartkid024 I don't have a problem with politically correctness, I do have a problem with people that by their own admission aren't fans and then chime in when something like this happens.

I watch the Hawks buddy. I'm not really worried about the suspention. It won't make any difference with Torres in or out. But I do care that they call on the ice should have been a 5 minute major that lets face it, could have easily changed the game.
Kartkid024 10 months ago
@Kartkid024 The hawks actually scored on the power play when Torres was in the box to make it 2-2 so it did change the game, but the nucks are good enough to weather the storm and win the 3rd period. Oh yeah and 6 other powerplays to try and get it done for Chicago. With that sort of advantage I'd think you'd have nothing to complain about, except your own teams inability to put the puck in the net.
canuck4life81 10 months ago
@canuck4life81
hawks where 29 percent on the PP. Thats a good night. Lets face it luo saved them on the 5 on 3 and a couple other times. If the hawks get a 5 minute major and scored in the first 35 seconds as they did, they still have 4:25 to score again and again. or simply get the nucks tired. I am disappointed we had no 5 on 5 goals (Louongo didn't help there) but in a game that close, a 5 minute major I think could have changed the game, and if not, would have been nice to know it.

If you need powerplays to score and can't score 5 on 5, then you won't win, you don't deserve to win. Sure it'd be nice to know if it would have changed the game, I'd like to know the lottery numbers before they come up too.
