Kings News: Raffi Torres suspended for remainder of Western Conference Semifinals

[kingsfan28]

The main board is just too much to take. How they can defend that clown, even after the lengthy explanation by shanny [which was well done btw ] , is beyond me.

 

[MSRinkRat]

No because we still lost Stoll.
And the way the team has talked around it would think for maybe for the rest of this run.

The OP was to guess how long the suspension would be. Not if we won or lost in Stoll being out.

 

[MynameisKing]

Feel so vindicated.

edit: I'm able to get in again!

edit edit: I got edited!

edit edit edit: Ooops! It's a whole new thread haha!

 

[TonySCV]

Sounds about right. I figured 4-6. It's going to wind up being 3-6 with a chance that he is done for the entire season depending on the series outcome.

It isn't enough.

Its funny seeing them defend it, its like they forgot:

 

[Telos]

Players don't get paid for the playoffs, do they? Not unless they win that is. I don't think he'll lose any money or sleep over this.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Honestly I hate Raffi but this seems long. Really had to be a lot to do with his reputation.

Any potential discipline Torres receives is always going to have a lot to do with his history/reputation

6 games is long? he just missed 25

Its funny seeing them defend it, its like they forgot:

You can find at least 7-10 hits that look exactly the same from this guy. That's the problem with him. He keeps making hits, he keeps getting suspended. This should have been 10-15 games. If the NHL isn't going to give out long punishments when the guy JUST sat out 21 games for a high hit, he'll keep doing it.

 

[Live in the Now]

Also, if you want to talk about the main board, do it there please.

 

[LAKings88]

nevermind

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Its not long enough, but the video that Shanny made is very thorough.

That's the part I'm worried about.

The guy is going 'only 6 games?' Say the Sharks beat us, loss of Stoll being a factor...what the hell kind of deterrent was that?

As someone else mentioned, that's THREE playoffs in a row where he's taken someone out. And now he has the chance to play for a cup if he team moves on. That's appalling.

Shanny's video explanation was very detailed, I was pretty shocked

Unfortunately very few will actually watch it before rendering an opinion.

It's like a mine field out there. Be careful guys.

Ummm nope clean hit!

 

[KingKopitar11*]

I watch most of his suspension vids. But I feel this is the best detailed one imo.

I knew it was a bad hit when i saw stoll spin out and torres skated through the hit.


Edit : I never knew how much I cared about Stoll since he was taken out, he just came off as the kind of guy you dont ever think would get injured. Feel bad for him. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

 

[Omni Owl]

It isn't enough.

Also this.

He should never be allowed to play. I'm sure he'll do it at least once more in his career....

It sucks i cant imagine how other players feel when hes on the ice, theyd probably be worried that they'd be hit high. Its probably a nervous feeling on the ice for the opposition.

Its funny seeing them defend it, its like they forgot:

looks nearly identical to the stoll hit, post that on the main boards.

 

[Shellz]

The fact that posters are STILL trying to defend the hit is hilarious.

Obviously the league doesn't agree with you. I wish he was kicked out of the league.

 

[Reclamation Project]

No man it's ok, didn't you hear? He only had 17 PIM this season.

Ridiculous.

He needs to go

Its interesting seeing how reactions change when a player switches teams
