Raffi Torres on Marion Hossa

The hit on Hossa by Raffi Torres

Well, now its been a half an hour since this ridiculous hit, and I've had a little bit of time to calm down, but its not helping so I'm gonna write what needs to be written.  For Raffi Torres to leave his feet on this hit, a hit to the head, which by definition is worthy of a suspension without Hossa being carted off, and still on the ice is ridiculous.   The refs not only didn't eject him, they acted as though they didn't see it, and penalized the Blackhawks Brandon Bollig for a 2 minute minor and a 10 minute major penalty and Torres stayed on the bench.  This hit was worth at least 10 games for a player without the record that Torres has, with his record this deserves a suspension into next season if the NHL is serious about player safety.
