Injuries to Kings

[Cmon_WTF]

NHL.com just pulled down a headline saying Torres got 6 games.

 

[snowsurfer13sss]

Please be less than 6 games...

NHL.com just pulled down a headline saying Torres got 6 games.

That would be other wordly bullshit if true

 

[MrFlyingV]

The rest of series is what it is

 

[rares]

Yup, it's official.

Sharks' Torres suspended for remainder of Western Conference Semifinal series - Kings vs Sharks - 2013 SCP Conference Semifinals

100% bullshit but oh well.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

The rest of series is what it is

The title said the rest of the series but the article specified 6 games. Meaning he wouldn't be back at all this series and may miss games next round if this series doesn't go to a game seven.

 

[rares]

Video explanation says remainder of series. No mention of 6 games.

 

[CJdublé]

I think if it wasn't Torres and Stoll wasn't hurt there wouldn't have been a suspension. Hopefully the sharks can dig deep and pull out a W in the series.

 

[MrFlyingV]

Next season between periods players are gonna be drinking tea and eating crumpets and watching Downton Abbey repeats. New rule pushed by Shanahan. NHL is a wuss league now. It is all bs.

Given the borderline nature of the offense, that is bullshit. If it's due to his priors, then that's acceptable. Oh well, we move on...

The origional article posted said 6 games. Perhaps that's why they took it down then reposted.

How much do you want to bet that Stoll is fine and will be back playing in Game 3?

B-I-N-G-O! That's why I say, "Bullshit Shanafag"!

 

[rares]

Yeah, the suspension should have been for "as many games as Stoll sits out".

 

[MrChangoT97]

Don't like the Torres missing this series, but the games still need to be played. I say punish Doughty, Brown, Richards, Carter any chance the Sharks have a oppertunity. :boxing:

 

[Cbrower91]

Fucking joke, how much says Stoll makes a miraculous recovery and plays tonight

 

[RaiderZar]

I wonder if DWil will respond (truthfully) or come back with some PC statement (just to avoid a hefty fine)?

 

[Ray_Dogg]

My biggest gripe now is Shanahan said himself in the video that the initial point of contact is shoulder. What a train wreck. That makes him look like such a moron.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

What bugs me even more about this is Shanny violates the CBA by ruling he's suspended for the remainder of the 2nd round. In Article 18 of the CBA it specifically states that an exact number of games the player will be suspended for must determined. Because no exact number was given Torres can't appeal the suspension.

Further proof that the NHL is trying to message itself as a "kinder, gentler league". If they really wanted to change this shit they would outlaw most of the pads they were that look like armor. Go back to the older padding they used to use that isn't plated with Kevlar.
