Raffi Torres nails Joe Thornton with clean hit

[Alechma]

Gotta love watching Joe Thornton get hit.. He is a big douche

[geckoisgiko]

clean hit or not, torres is obviously a dirty fucking player if every damn hit he does has to be debated about how clean or dirty it was. fuck this guy he's a piece of shit in this league

[Diversitial]

@geckoisgiko Or he's playing how the league should be played, fuck the headshot rule if your head is down it should be played. you learned it in novice , fuck even in tyke you learned to keep your head up. new players cant play this fucking game.

[Diversitial]

@caseyshadow101 Actually Canada has better quality .. :/ i'm canadian though,

The americans because of there horrid eye-sight .. had lights installed on the tv enrollment to be able to see the puck . This is a real thing.

[Beaviz81]

¨Good clean hit, and this comes from a SJS-fan.

[norskwizard]

blindside plus its torres.

[grizzly1792]

if it's on jumbo-turd joe, it's always legal.

[danynumero6]

@grizzly1792 how can you say that about Joe Thornton? The guys an awesome player.

[grizzly1792]

@danynumero6 i'm not denying he isn't a great player. he's one of the best centers in the league, but he's a cheap little diving pos at the same time. can't stand em.

[Terba28]

@grizzly1792 When he has he ever dove? I try to watch as many games as posible and I never saw him dive.

[thesponge8]

@Terba28 are you serious? this last post season, type in "joe thornton dive", and behold the work of joe thornton

[Terba28]

@thesponge8 Okay it was a dive. But that's not bad compared to what the Habs do. Thornton will always be a respectable player to me.

[CamericaUSA]

@Terba28 Thorton goes after Nick Lidstrom all the time, theres a reason why Nick Lidstrom is respected more than shitty joe.

[TheHockeyKid811]

I hate Raffi Torres

[37iggyfenton]

@caseyshadow101 Do they teach grammar or spelling in Canada? Eh?

[calixa]

thornton is in tonight. doesnt matter tho, NUCKS IN 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrIHasCrayons]

if torres is on the ice you should know better ;D

[TheWhiteFactor]

damn, hope joe is back

and i hope the next time torres is battling it out with someone else on the boards someone runs him.. preferably from behind.

[644tad]

@TheWhiteFactor LOL U MAD

[DJPatrickKelly]

CLEAN!

[Jojoereggaemtl]

LET'S GO LES CANADIENS

[scumatron]

regardless, torres is still a douche bag

[carcaril]

omfg.. I like it how north american bitchy commentators make haste to mark it was a clean hit.. :-D They are soooo hypocritical in many ways. Low shits.

[Markynaz]

decapitation huh...who's gonna do it? YOU?

[therealsniqow]

Raffi Torres deserves to be decapitated.

[stevenbrown63]

1997 called. wants it's video quality back

[37iggyfenton]

@stevenbrown63 It's Canada. That's the best quality they've ever seen.

[saskLS1]

@stevenbrown63 Ha, it's funny I was gonna throw in a joke about the game taking place in 1999.

[alexhighgate]

@stevenbrown63 they called again, they want there joke back

[utubename88]

Nice and clean playoff ending hit right there

[Xeidasx]

AND THE CANUCKS WIN THE CUP!!!

[marsCosmic]

These players go into the league knowin that this sport is one of, if not, the roughest one of them all. The "players" should be the ones to dictate their own safety. Not some management crew who thinks they know how to make every player safe.

My bad people. I blew up right there. Just had to get it off my mind. People are just too soft nowadays.

[redragon01]

@marsCosmic I agree.The level these guys are playing at now as compared to 20 years ago, the only way your gonna prevent injuries is to put them all in plastic bubbles

[gillettecrackers]

Legal clean hit. He just had his head down and wasn't paying attention.

[rYrY1507]

@gillettecrackers he had his head down because Edler was pushing him down!

[redragon01]

It's a clean hockey play. I got nothing but respect for Joe Thornton but for sharks fans bitching that that was a dirty hit...maybe Joe Thornton should learn how to fall...Well learn to fall when he is not doing it on purpose that is. Looks like a separated shoulder to me.

[marsCosmic]

All I hear now is people sayin they should enforce new rules for player safety. Stop that ish. When u got players who fire pucks, skate like hell, check, and have a burning passion for the game, tryin to make new rules for safety will not work.

[TheWhiteFactor]

@marsCosmic Sorry, torres doesnt do anything but skate as fast as he can at players.. but im sure you think that takes some skill ? hes an nhl player and cant even stick handle for fuck sakes!

[marsCosmic]

@TheWhiteFactor if your white ass had eyes, u can see that raffi torres isn't in the nhl just because he can hit. hes made the nhl for a reason. hes been a factor for the canucks because the opposition "knows" when hes on the ice. hes scored, hes assisted, and hes blown players up. thats how hockey is played. you just mad casue you've proabably been blown up too many times son. you people keep bitchin

[marsCosmic]

Idk how anybody can say this is a dirty hit. Joe shoulda kept his head up. No strides, no elbow, just good contact by a player who knows how to use leverage on a big guy. Like they say, Torres is known to look for players who are vulnerable to hits. This is just a clean hit by a player who wants to win. The game of hockey isn't a sport for bitchin. U don't just pad up for nothing. U score, skate, and hit damnit! Thats part of the game!!! I'm tired of hearing people complaining about these check

[CodyLonsdale]

I've read around around 20 complaints from SJ Sharks fans saying the shot on Aaron Rome in Game 3 was perfectly clean/fine and most called him a pussy. But then this little hit Joe took had SO MANY Sharks fan whining about how Raffi did a bad hit and asking the status on Joe. Hypocrites at it's finest

[mrhanbar]

It's the armor that idiot players wear instead of pads that causes crap like this. What looks like something that shouldn't cause an injury actually does. Stupid NHL has to crack down on this PRONTO, but I don't expect them to because, well, they are stupid.

[kobracom77]

@KrabsontheassProductions,

GET A FKN CLUE DUMBASS, Elbow?????HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

BUHBYE Sharks.

[33skcunac]

clean hit..... but it looks a weak hit .... so perhaps joe was already injured or hurting before this hurt and just was aggravated because of this CLEAN hit by Raffy

[zombieholic]

clean hit, keep your head up!

[deathxcircle]

Shark homers. This is a cheapshot, but Eager or Mcginn are just playing hard.

[mrfluffy02]

Might be a tad late, but when you're in your own zone, it's a hit you have to make. Of course, with Thornton's reputation as a diver and embellisher cemented this playoff run...shit happens.

[KrabassProductions]

raffi torres is the biggest jke in the NHL. He cheapshots people and then sates away like a pussy demanding that the call is overturned when he knows what he did, disgrace to Canada and the nhl, i hope he commits suicide or overdoses one day so we can all plan a parade.

[jackiesu1]

@KrabassProductions what a idiot hater.. that was the cleanest hit

[KrabassProductions]

@jackiesu1 nice elbow ey?

[jackiesu1]

@KrabassProductions wow learn the nhl rule first... thats a clean shoulder to shoulder hit.

[KrabassProductions]

@jackiesu1 did you see his elbow after the hit?

[kling81]

@KrabassProductions that elbow was nowhere near the head. i think you have to open your eyes, maybe. no penalty on the play & this won't even be reviewed. you want to know why? it was a clean hit.

[KrabassProductions]

@kling81 Know why? Cause the Canucks are whiners and get what ever they want nice diving today btw, great to see "Canada's" team winning that way.

[vanxbldghst13]

@KrabassProductions bahahahahahhahahaha, have you seen any of the chicago and vancouver series? and we get whatever we want? there were no fcking suspensions on either eager's or mcginn's hit, you fcking blind? Eager check could've fcking killed someone, and mcginn's hit injured rome. I agree to some extent that Torres can be a dirty player, but this was a clean hit. get me a screenshot of where torres' elbow makes contact with thornton's head. clean hit, thornton had his head down.

[rudeorgasmdoner]

@KrabassProductions You do this is hockey, right? The Canucks aren't Canadas team, they are Vancouvers team. You're just a hoser.

[kling81]

@KrabassProductions that sounds like a whole lot of whining right there budday.

[KrabassProductions]

@kling81 It's funny that all i hear is whining from every canucks fan about the clean hit on Daniel. He turned at the last second, swedish pussy. I can't wait for the canucks to lose so all the bandwagon jumpers get off my dick.

[redragon01]

@KrabassProductions Man you are either blind or dumb but im going with both. He definitely turned at the last second so he could be hit from behind on purpose right? Please watch the replay! He turns to his backhand to dump the puck in and Eager took a run on him.

[KrabassProductions]

@redragon01 and why exactly did he have to turn his back? That's the reason he wasn't suspended , daniela didn't have to turn.

[kling81]

@KrabassProductions haha typical calgery flamers fan. nobody wants an opinion of a calgary flames fan... let's get real here... i'll let you have your hate cuz your team will suck for the next 5 years. with jay feaster's drafting record... maybe even 10 years. have fun cheering for losers. you obviously aren't of sound body and mind to be calling a clean or dirty hit. you just see the jersey color, and you start bitching and complaining like every other albertan around this time of year. losers.

[KrabassProductions]

@kling81 1)i'm not a flames fan, im a canadians fan (24 cups smd)

2) the flames are okay since feaster is the NEW gm and he won a cup with tampa.

3) the canucks havn't won a cup in 40 years and this series isn't over

4) if they do make it to the final they have to beat a tough team either way.

[kgehrks89]

@kling81 HAH its a 30 year old uploading video game clips, and a habs fan.....clearly hes mental!

[CHINESEareANNOYING]

@KrabassProductions the only reason the canucks get powerplays is cause the sharks are retarded and get to many men an delay of game penalties i would like to see where they dive

[redragon01]

@KrabassProductions

You think he is the biggest joke! key word YOU! Your ass wouldn't be saying a damn thing if he was on your team. And for you saying that was a dirty hit shows you know nothing about hockey. I agree with your right to say what you want but hoping someone dies because of how he plays hockey! Remove your head from your ass before you type.

[dubldigit]

@KrabassProductions Your a fuckin assclown,,, suck it gently you jealous little female!

[dfbgodzilla]

I love it... Thornton the biggest cry baby since Crosby

[giantsfan188]

@dfbgodzilla lol...dumbass.

[Canucklug]

hope he's ok, he's been sick in these playoffs. wouldn't be teh same without him.

[asmyth01]

ahhhhhh payback is beautiful
