Maybe he's trying to repeat last year, when he literally didn't appear until game 4

Man, why do we have so much trouble clearing the puck?

Hah whoops For the 2nd year in a row the Bears will play 3 of their final 4 games on the road. That's annoying

"and the coyotes have the set the tone physically early in the game, once again, for the third straight game" coyotes are like the new marlins "That's what happens when you cut to the middle with the puck" Wait what happens, you get blindsided with an malicious illegal hit?

And then after watching the replay 2-3 times clearly showing Torres leaving his feat he says "Yeah, I don't have a problem with that hit" Holy [expletive] a-hole

Shouldn't have traded Scott...this would have been the 1 time he'd be useful. Where is Mayers at? He should have gotten himself ejected already. I guess 2 men down it wouldnt make sense to intentionally risk getting an ejection.

lol badass, Crawford wants to fight

Dammit the lights went on and everything. Stupid keith misses a wide open net

Terrible turnover for Keith in his own zone (I know, where have we heard that before), but luckily it didnt hurt us

Who's Mark Buehrle?

Yup, definitely expected to be reading things like that during this year back in the winter

Jesse Rogers just said not the worst. Good signs basically from hospital. The tweet you are referencing:

Why would you want to penalize the Hawks even more?

The Coyotes have gotten more chances on the last 2 Hawks power plays than the Blackhawks have

Leave it Frolik to miss point blank with ample time to prepare for a shot twice in 10 seconds

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

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): http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=torres+suspended&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CC4QtwIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.nhl.com%2Fvideocenter%2Fconsole%3Fid%3D146713&ei=_ByOT4KzJcjgtge_7rDpCw&usg=AFQjCNHyJWKGmemSutLkJoGHtdNc4UFJ4w

SUCK IT COYOTES AND REFS

I love that for once we have we have an easy start to the season (relatively) Looks like a good schedule to me. I really like the Houston @ Chicago SNF game. Good time for the Hawks to get their first ever win over the franchise

Based on what Shaws suspension is Torres should be out for the playoffs. That was a vicious, without a doubt intentional, premeditated retaliation. There are going to be a lot of [expletive] insanely mad Hawks fans if he doesnt get a severe suspension.

SWEET A POWER PLAY FOR PHOENIX SOUNDS FAIR

If this isn't a worse suspension than Shaw's, I'm done with this league. Smith gets hit and misses no time and shaw gets 3 games, a 5 minute major and a game misconduct Hossa gets knocked to the ground and carred out on a stretcher, in an obvious retalitory hit

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.

It better be way more than 3 games, he didnt even get a penalty or ejected. AND THE REF IS SITTING RIGHT THERE LOOKING AT THEM

Great, Hossa took out of a stretcher. That's not acting. Yeah way to retaliate you douchebags
