Hearing for Torres on Stoll hit (Thurs 9am PT, NYC; w/DW); out for rest of WCSF

[Led Zappa]

But 6 times 0 is still 0.

Still, it makes sense to suspend him for the rest of the series, if anything. I thought it'd be 10 games. We still don't know for sure, though.

6 x 0 x nhl x shanny = six

Kypreos tweet: many think Torres will get 6 games

i like the 1st post about the pulled article on nhl.com, that means if the sharks win 4 straight he only misses 4 games.

 

[pappaf2]

Sounds right though. 6x Repeat offender times 0 games equals 6 right?

6x0=6 ???

 

[rangerssharks414]

6 x 0 x nhl x shanny = six

Better.

 

[Barrie22]

6x0=6 ???

i like shanny's math, i would of been an A student in math if that was the way it worked.

 

[Led Zappa]

6 games is a lot better than i was expecting. alls we have to do is win 8 games in a row and we will have him back for SCF

Now we need a 7 games series

 

[rangerssharks414]

Now we need a 7 games series

And they'd have him back for the WCF if they make it.

Edit: I'm basing that off of the rumor that he's suspended only for the remainder of the series.

Just watched Duthie, Ward, Pang and Mckenzie on the panel talking about the hit. Ward doesn't think he should get anything because he was just doing his job but thinks he'll get 1 game. Pang thinks he should get 1 or 2 games and will probably get that (I'm pretty sure that's what he said, correct me if I'm wrong please someone). Mckenzie thinks he should get a couple of games but thinks he'll get 3, 4 or 5 and mentioned that a headline on nhl.com was briefly online that he was gone for the series, hope that was wrong but I doubt it unfortunately. This is bull**** though, he shouldn't get anything.

i would not be suprised to hear a suspension like this, if sharks win in 5 games, torres is suspended for 7 games in the next series. if the sharks win in 6 games, torres is suspended for 7 games in the next series, if sharks win in 7 games, torres is suspended 7 games in the next series.

if sharks lose series, suspsension is done.

Torres suspended for the remainder of the series. I'm sorry but that is total BS.

 

[slocal]

So "for the remainder of the series" means that it could be a short as 3, 4 or 6 games? Odd suspension.

 

[sjshrky27]

total BS

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I'm listening to the Shanahan video and it's almost like Shanny is having a hard confusing time explaining why this is a hit to the head. The Video shows it's a shoulder hit, and if he wasn't a repeat offender, this would not be a suspension. What crap.

Absolute garbage. Clean hit and he is suspended.

 

[sharkie88]

Why aren't we getting hard numbers? I didn't think suspension length could be variable. So if the Sharks win 4 straight (not saying I think this will happen), would we have him back for Game 1 of the WCF?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

********. A suspension on reputation and to appease the wimps. Guess Lombardi's crybaby act worked this time.

Not at all happy with the call. But that is the nuuu NHL.

Even if the Sharks advance, they might have to deal with a neutered Torres.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

****ing ridiculous.

Yup.

If they do advance, he's probably going to be afraid to hit people.
