Raffi Torres recently received a 25-game suspension for his hit to the head of Marian Hossa.
Video:
What do you think of the hit, and was the suspension too lenient, too harsh, or just right?

The suspension was perfect. As Shannahan said in his video, Torres has been suspended 5 times in the past 2 years, and the hit caused a serious injury to Hossa. It was also an extremely dirty hit. The suspension is sending a message to Torres, that he needs to stop.

He did this last year also to the Blackhawks and didn't even get a suspension. This is a well deserving suspension. Any more than 25 games would have been a bit crazy.

Yeah, I agree with you two. It's just a dirty hit. Plain and simple. He is making himself, his team, and NHL, and the sport in general, look bad. Fighting is part of hockey generally speaking, but this is just a disgrace.
