They're already starting to cry over in Esplen's thread.

It's a beautiful thing!

I was going to read through 33 pages worth of posts to make sure this hasn't been mentioned already, but I don't have that kind of time.

Bob McKenzie tweeted that a 'late' hit is considered .5 seconds after a player is no longer control of the puck. In last year's SC Finals, Aaron Rome laid out Nathan Horton and it was .83 seconds after Horton passed. Last night was .87 seconds. And at the time everyone was super pissed about Rome's hit. Regardless which is worse, it's scary. (Not that anyone is debating whether or not it was a late hit, but just giving the data to support it)

Someone earlier posted something about players policing themselves. I wonder if this stuff would stop (or reduce significantly) if a Shane Doan said 'you know, the Torres hit was a nasty hit and we shouldn't have it'. But the problem is, these guys are all exacting revenge from earlier hits, so it's always ok. Eye for an eye? Thornton concussed Toews, Keith elbows Sedin, Doan clips Benn, Torres takes out Hossa. It's like it's a never-ending baton exchange of hits. At this point, it's all on the players. Nothing Shanahan can do, that ship has sailed. And what measure of revenge brings Hossa back? Time to sack up and win a couple games for 81. Torres is a giant piece of crap, but that's what keeps him employed (sadly).

That's a benchmark I have heard but like everything else there are so many variables....By every metric Torres was very late.

I think Shanny is caught now becasue Torres has a bad history.

I say Torres is suspended for all of the playoffs and will have to apply for reinstatement some time in the fall.

All the yotes just keep fueling the fire. It will come back to bite them guaranteed. Love the fact Turris scored the game winner tonight any little jab at Phoneix right now makes me smile a bit.

yeah enjoyed Whitney's lecture to cover up and deflect from his loser teammate!

asking Saad to fill the skates of Hossa's all around game....**sigh**

He does not have to be Hossa he just needs to play HIS role. They can win without Hossa

Unlikely to happen.

Maybe some of you have seen this...

Nice rap sheet of the headhunting career of one Raffi Torres...you know the guy who says he is just finishing his checks. When you continue to let scum off the hook like the NHL has....someone finally pays the price!

I know....but sure would like to see him in the red white and black!!

I have to guess Vans resigns him and looks to move lou!

bog, if you could get vancouver to eat rusty o's, froliks and ???, would you consider taking back bobby lu? i am just curious if a change of senery wouldn't be the cure for him! we hate him as hawk fans but he would probably be loved like all the other once hated until they put on the indianhead! the guy ( sensibly speaking ) can flat out play! after seeeing this crap with crawford all year just wondering about that contract and vancouver i am sure would gladly take back short term garbage to unload that contract and make room for schneider!
i am just curious about that one! thats all!

Luongo is a mental case. We don't need him.

I think its going to be the other way around. I'm thinking Luongo and his contract stays, and Schnieder gets moved at the draft.

I think Schnieder could fetch a high first round pick in a trade.

Thanks for the link. The videos were interesting to say the least.

stalberg needs to show up in this series
he can start by hitting everything that moves to get his game on track

leddy has been a big disappointment. his lack of physical maturity has hurt

we dont need saad to be hossa for multiple games only the next one

These quick whistles are such bull poop

interesting....but I don't think the hawks would be interested in that contract at the goalie position and they would have to move Craws 3.5 mil

I would prefer to see the Hawks get a couple of big dmen....the smurf squad of Keith, Leddy, Hrjalm and Oduya are getting killed. How many chances have the coyotes gotten on dumps and the strg forecheck forcing giveaways and takeaways.

that has been a problem all year. Seabs has been great...they need to get bigger

bing bing bing

Don't know if anyone mentioned it but Torres tried to run Hossa in one of the games in Phoenix but Hossa side stepped him at the last minute.

2 years left on Crawford's deal at just a hair under $2.7 million.

I think its going to be the other way around. I'm thinking Luongo and his contract stays, and Schnieder gets moved at the draft.

I dunno....why would they stick with what is not working
