See Ya, Raffi!

Take a good look at this picture because it will likely be the last time you see this image for a while.  That's Raffi Torres of the Phoenix Coyotes, and after the hit on Marian Hossa on Monday, he will be sitting in the press box for a minimum of the rest of the series.  The official word is that it is an indefinite suspension, but one gets the feeling that the book will be thrown at him for longer than that, particularly if Phoenix advances in the playoffs.  If you haven't seen the hit, here's the hit in question (For those with sensitive eyes, watch with caution):

As you can see, Torres leaves his feet to deliver a shoulder shot to Hossa's jaw and Hossa ends up leaving on a stretcher.  Even though this was close to the middle of the ice, Torres was not called for anything.

This is not the first time Torres has been in the NHL disciplinarian dog house, as he was suspended twice last year for dangerous hits.  How Brendan Shanahan will handle this case is anyone's guess, but I absolutely think he needs to set an example with Torres here, repeat offender notwithstanding.
