The Hit: Hossa Taken Off On Stretcher**Left Hospital Under Own Power**

[Chi_Sports_guy]

Stupid play, not just because I'm a Blackhawks fan, but as a sports fan. The NHL needs to do something about the fighting, the bad checks, and all the bullshit quick!!!


May the Force be with you.

A******e left his feet- right there that is charging (and better than that one that resulted in a serious actual injury) -- and in retaliating for the no call, the Hawks end up killing a powerplay, instead of on working on a major powerplay.

Yeh, - you know maybe robots ought to do the officiating -- because these zebras suck.

I wish they would get rid of the instigator penalty

 

[Captain Iago]

A real solid case for an "eye in the sky" referee wired into the skating refs?

 

[southern_cross_116]

I don't know about that - as it doesn't seem enough... you'll get some ref (or crew) where it is all about them -and unless you can force the idiot on the ice to actually do something -and/or be consistent - it won't work imo.

Torres can **** himself to death along with the dumbass coyote fans he believe it was a "clean skillful hit"

Torres has never done anything in his career that would come even remotely close to being considered "skillful".

I thought fighting in hockey was supposed to prevent all this?

:lol:

That fucking c***s***er should be fucking shot.

 

[Shawon0Meter]

Just saw this on SportsCenter...glad he's alright

 

[Capt. Serious]

anybody else really missing Carcillo about now? I wanna take out someone's knee and end their career.

Look at how different Matt Cooke is now. Goes from an idiot to a solid overall hockey player.

Torres needs to be snapped in two but not holding my breath on that happening.

Carcillo was growing on me til what he did to Gilbert...and himself.

It's not like he's John Scott. The guy can play in the NHL if he'd use his brain alot more.

I just don't get how hard it is for a player to not leave their feet. The second a player leaves their feet to deliver a hit...nothing good is going to come of it.

Didn't like the hit, but I think you all are going to like the results. This was what woke-up the Hawks last year against the Cafucks if I recall correctly.

Phoenix won't win another game.

 

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

would have liked to have seen the results last night, though you could tell the team was visibly shaken up after hossa was carted off. the game really hit the brakes after that... the hawks looked pretty confused.

hope they can turn it around for game 4. I think they will.

It will, however there is an instigator penalty that allows certain players to play "differently"

Tyson Nash, the Coyotes announcer who called the hit "As clean as your gonna get"
is receiving threats from Chicago fans.

It didn't wake them up enough to win game 3 for Hossa. What makes you so sure they won't win another?

Well ... they didn't win the game last year when Torres ran Seabrook, either.

Just sayin'

Looks like Raffi is off the hook for another game, hearing set for Friday... Complete fucking bullshit

I'm not sure that means he can play in Game 4 ...

They will probably be suspending him indefinitely until an in person meeting Friday. That would be my guess.

There is no way they can let him play Thursday and then suspend him later...just no way.
