@peggykusinski: #blackhawks just loaded #Hossa into ambulance, still no movement. Scary

[Magnetic Curses]

twitter says hossa hasn't moved yet

[kujay]

I was about to say that given we played the entire period with four zebra ducks in our asses, getting out scoreless was a win.

 

This is just gravy.

[PosterToBeNamedLater]

I mean holy [expletive] this is insane. How does he not get a [expletive] penalty on this?!!?!? This is a [expletive] outrage. I can't believe this.

 

I am stuck with the Phoenix coverage (I live here). The CNBC broadcast is blacked out. I think the color guy is Tyson Nash. When they first showed the replay he said, "That's as clean as a hit as you're gonna get."

This is just gravy.

Now let's listen to the [expletive] NBC intermission announcers defend Torres and slam Shaw.

[UMFan83]

Like I said earlier, Shanahan pointed out 3 things when addressing Shaw's suspension:

 

-Goalies are not fair game. Crashing into a goalie without reasonably trying to get out of the way is a serious offense

-There were no injuries from the incident

-There is no history of illegal hits for Shaw

 

Also, punishment was given during the game in the form of a 5 minute major and game misconduct

 

Now look at this hit

 

-Torres intentionally lined up and left his feet to ram his shoulder into Hossa's head. Leaving your feet to make a hit almost always means it was intentional, and is clearly an extremely illegal action.

-Hossa looks to be severely hurt and was carried off the ice on a stretcher

-Torres has consistently been known as a dirty player his entire career and has been suspended multiple times and been fined at least 4 times for illegal hits. He has been warned repeatedly about illegal hits.

 

Also, no penalty was called on the play and Torres was allowed to continue to play the game.

 

Also, if anyone is interested, Torres landed a very similar hit last year against Minnesota, and was suspended 2 games. The difference is that his victim was not hurt at all on the play, and it was 3-4 illegal hits ago.

 

Here is Shanahan's explanation for that hit (along with video of the hit....very similar to what we just saw):

I'm way too fired up for the third playoff game of the year.

[Smack]

He possibly paralyzed a player with an illegal hit. If the league was right he wouldn't come back out to the bench. He should be pulled from the game pending suspension.

[rawaction]

How the hell did the Hawks score first in a game like this?

[kujay]

Puck was so far gone. Didn't even notice that before.

[UMFan83]

twitter says hossa hasn't moved yet

 

 

Great, lets see what Shanahan's little injury barometer handles a situation where the player was paralyzed

[Magnetic Curses]

Now let's listen to the [expletive] NBC intermission announcers defend Torres and slam Shaw.

 

keenan is making shanahan's decision that much easier

[kujay]

Hoss heading to hospital. Jesus.

 

Whoever said it, I agree. They should pull Torres right now. Suspend his ass immediately.

 

Except I want us to get a four-goal lead and then slit his throat.

[bcl412]

I forgot Torres was the one who cheapshotted Seabrook last year in the playoffs. What a scumbag.

[manbearcub]

I am legitimately outraged right now.
