I'll be creative and say he gets like 25, to make sure he's out of the playoffs this year at a minimum. That, or he gets an indefinite suspension to clear him from the playoffs this year, and then a set # of games in the offseason to carry over.

Yeah, I think Shanahan's main goal is to get him out of the playoffs guaranteed. Given that it's just Phoenix, 15 SHOULD be enough for that, but you never know. But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was 20+ or indefinite. Torres has NOTHING working in his favor on this one...

lol thank god he saved Ovechkin there?
Look, I'm not saying that it's a legitimate excuse, just that it's been used before for other people.

When you compare what Backstrom did to what Weber did, Weber's is about ten times worse in every possible way. Same thing with Neal really.

Also, this pretty much ends the series all by itself. Caps had to get one of the two at home, didn't get the first, and Backstrom has been one of their best players.


Oh, yeah the hit itself isn't worth a suspension. I think it's just the "instigator for people who don't play for Mario Lemieux" rule.

If the goal is the get Torres out of the playoffs then that is likely what the penalty will be. I doubt it would be some random number thrown out (like 15 or 25) in hopes of it outlasting the playoffs. Whether the word 'indefinite' would be used or not I have no idea. Although I expect a long suspension I would still be surprised if it carried over into next season.

I don't know, I'd say the Penguins were more favored to make it to the SCF than the Nucks, even with the President's Trophy. And at least Vancouver has been competitive, and they haven't chucked away 3-0 and 3-1 leads at home or gotten blown out 8-4 in a game where they thought it more important to try and be thugs instead of playing hockey.

Pfft... Canucks are about to make history, the most the Penguins can hope for is to be disqualified due to running out of players or have the most goals scored against them in the history of the play-offs.

I didn't even pick the Penguins to win their series! Philly's the worst team they could have faced: They'd have thrashed the Rangers or the Devils but the Flyers have had their number all year.

...Almost picked the Kings. Almost.


The way the Penguins are getting wrecked surprises me, but the fact that they're down 3-0 to the Flyers is far less surprising to me than the Nucks being down 3-0 to the Kings.

I just didn't see the whole "20 goals against in 3 games with 4 SH goals against" thing happening.

The Presidents' Cup winner has never been down 3-0 in a series though, much less been swept. I guess the 1 seed its happened to has always been the other one, then

And yeah I could see the Rangers going up 3-1 and blowing the series because they've been good at that lately anyway.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if the Coyotes make it past the Blackhawks rather easily now. Without Hossa and Shaw, they lose a lot of their scoring threat with the obvious exception of their top line. Q might end up juggling the lines now to try and even it out a bit, especially with Sharp struggling, but I just don't think it would do much good at this point.

Yeah so even if Torres is out indefinitely, it's not like the Coyotes will care. Blackhawks lost a star player, Coyotes didn't.

So this is gonna hurt to say, but... go Blackhawks go.

Bleargh. At least they're not as bad as the Red Wings.
