LeBron James USA Jersey .ca! Kerry, what did
you think of the hit that Raffi Torres laid out on Jarret Stoll on Tuesday
night? I mean, he popped Stoll hard on that hit, but I cant tell if Torres just
got his shoulder or in the head. Torres got two for charging, but could there be
more from the league? Max Martin, Toronto Max: I must first acknowledge that
Raffi Torres has done an excellent job this season in transforming his game in
an effort to play within the rules; not unlike the way Matt Cooke did following
his lengthy suspension. On this play however, it is my opinion that the angle of
approach that Raffi Torres took ahead/to the front of Jarret Stolls center body
mass in setting up to make the hit resulted in an illegal check to the head.
Raffi Torres was closing in on Jarret Stoll in anticipation of making an
open-ice hit but in doing so, Torres makes Stolls head the principle point of
contact causing injury. While the circumstance surrounding every play is unique
there can be common threads and similarities that exist for the purpose of
determining suspensions. As I viewed this play I noticed distinct similarities
from the criteria Brendan Shanahan used in his explanation to suspend Eric Gryba
for two games. I provide quotes from that decision while inserting player name
changes to appropriately reflect this current incident. "As the illegal check to
head penalty (rule 48) states: A hit resulting in contact with an opponents head
where the head is targeted and the principal point of contact is not permitted.
"There appears to be no malicious intent by Torres on the play. Stoll is
eligible to be checked on the play and Torres does not extend an elbow or launch
into the head of Stoll. However, Torres route is not correct and he does not
make enough of a full body check for this hit not to qualify as an illegal check
to the head. In attempting this check Torres does not hit squarely enough
through the body. Stolls head is the principle point of contact and the
subsequent contact to Stolls right shoulder is secondary. "It is important to
note that while receiving a pass or carrying a puck anywhere on the ice a hockey
player bears some responsibility to be aware of an impending check, however
since the inception of the current illegal check to the head penalty, no player
should expect that his head will be made the principle point of contact whether
intentionally or as it appears on this play, recklessly... "Taking into account
the significant contact to the head as well as the fact that Torres does not hit
Stoll through the body he does not succeed with his attempt to make a legal
check." - In summary, in my opinion this was an illegal check to the head. -
Jarrett Stoll was ultimately injured as a result of this hit (Did not return for
3rd period). - Raffi Torres has been suspended during his career. Aside from
the seriousness of the injury that Lars Eller sustained and Jarrett Stoll
fortunately did not, the common threads used to describe the play and the
decision rendered were just too obvious and eloquently stated by Brendan
Shanahan for me to ignore.
