Quack Quack Quack!
Am I the only one that didn't see a problem with the hit? It just looked unfortunate that KP had his head down and caught a shoulder to the chin.

Having your head down /= go ahead and target the head, which is what Torres did. There was no need to check Palmieri's head into the glass.

Does anyone have the ability to put up a YouTube? The replay I saw it certainly looked like a targeted head hit, but I didn't get to really look at it.
It's a predatory hit by a player with a history of predatory hits. Stupid play by Palmieri either way, by I don't buy Torres was "just trying to check him" any more than if it was Cooke that had done it - those two don't deserve the benefit of the doubt any more.

Yeah he has a great first two strides. He's been catching defenders off guard with it and going around them wide.
It was a good hit IMO. Unfortunate that it led to a concussion, but comes with any contact sport.

This is pretty much my perspective. I could see the hit being an accident coming from many other players. Torres no longer gets the benefit of the doubt.

Looks like Torres' hit is getting as much of a look, and response as Alfie's cross-check to Rinaldo's melon. You'd think they would at least make a statement regarding the hit, considering the last hit he threw that injured a player had him sit for a bit, but alas no.

alright. well hope he's feelng better and comes back soon.
i didn't like RPG last night. killed all our depth for sure since we then had to split up that 3rd line.
but belesky up there again with the twins or maybe maroon. he could really work well with them since he's such a monster down low

Have u tried keeping your head up with 2 pounds of neck hair? Not easy.... Hope for a speedy recovery and shave that neck KP

Hopefully Kyle is OK. Is he on the top line with Getz and Perry or something? They all had points on Kyle's hat-trick a couple nights ago.
A hot player on the first line gets targeted by a dirty classless player like Torres, sure he had his head down for a while, yet this ginger **** shoulders him right in the face.

I was looking for the hit. I love how NHL.com doesn't include it in the replay of the game.
Anyone?
Anyone?
they doesn`t include any of those big hits in the highlights, if that is what you mean

Boudreau said he believes Palmieri will be ready to play tomorrow vs. Dallas.
