You cannot prove Torres targeted his head. Seabrook put his head down and Torres had no time to adjust. Torres should have kept his elbow down so it was a penalty but you cannot say as fact he wanted to hit the head of Seabrook and cause injury.  That is how the NHL viewed it, and that is how I and many fans view the hit. At the time I thought he would be suspended just because of his recent history but I was pleased the NHL didn't overreact. I have been there and had the bruises in the mourning, I blame myself for a big hit if I lower my head in the wrong position of the ice. The other guy should have pulled up, adjusted, whatever, but I should have kept my head up and protected myself. Hockey is far too fast a sport to slow everything down frame by frame to see just who is 100% at fault. The beer leagues don't have that privilege, I promise you that.Anywho..Game 3 tonight. I cannot see them putting the Bruins in a 3-0 hole, so game 4 takes on that much more importance. Go 'Nucks.</blockquote>
