It's Damn Real!
The undisputed, undefeated TNA &
Raffi Torres has been suspended 25 games for his ridiculous, predatory head shot on Marián Hossa.
All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you, Brendan Shanahan! Thank you!
That ist he kind of message-sending the game needs to take that bullshit out of the game. Torres, period, is exactly the type of player that doesn't fit in the new NHL. He'd have made a career in the early 90's where that type of violence was revered, but the league has wizened up and is making a serious effort to protect their players better. Torres has no fucking respect for any of his peers.
The best part about all of this? The most possible games the Coyotes could play in the remainder of the playoffs is 24 games, so his suspension will carry over into next season regardless.
So much for that idea.

Here's hoping that the Bruins can win a big game tonight and take a 3-1 stranglehold in their first round series against the Capitals. It would be great if they can advance to the second round. Home ice advantage should be huge in their second round match against the Senators
So much for that idea.
