Hate seeing any player on a stretcher but even tougher when its a former teammate who is one of the best guys in the league.Hope Hossa is ok

Wow. Speaking as a family member of an ex player - simply terrifying to see someone on the ice like that. Sending love to Hossa & his fam

People on twitter seem to think it was clean because he still has a foot on the ice. Never mind it was borderline late, looked like charging, and you can clearly see his knees bend and launch towards Hossa's head, which seems to be the principal point of contact on a few angles.

I mean come on, you can pick out anything you want about that hit and tell it was predatory. Good thing Torres doesn't have a history of borderline hits though!

The last time a star player was stretchered off in the playoffs due to a late, dirty, concussion giving hit, it was Aaron Rome on Nathan Horton.

That worked out really well for Vancouver, didn't it

I don't understand how people can seriously support the instigator rule after this. I mean Chicago got an f'ing penalty after that. Ridiculous.
As lame as it sounds, this incident is gonna lend credence to the fact that they should have done something with Weber.

It's good thing that the league has taken a strict line on these head shots. I can see the effect already.
04-17-2012 , 10:26 PM

TYPICAL.

Another team that shouldnt beat the Wings runs hotter than the sun.
04-17-2012 , 10:27 PM
What a joke.
04-17-2012 , 10:27 PM
Time to blow it up. We need a netminder and two defensemen that can score.

Rinne is the hot goalie this year. Gonna be pretty tough to unhinge him.
