This guy is almost as bad as Matt Cooke.Torres suspended for 41 games for his latest cheap head shot on an Anaheim player a few days ago. Too much or does he deserve it for his long history of blatant cheap hits?
Agree.Too much or does he deserve it for his long history of blatant cheap hits?
Or mixing roids with pain meds?Torres is probably on crack. He got what he deserves.
Torres is probably on crack. He got what he deserves.
Does this Torres guy have any actual hockey skills?
Thanks for the background info.Was actually a prolific scorer and a high draft pick-fifth overall I believe. So, yes I would say he has sctual hockey skills.
It's surprising how many have skills that don't transfer to NHL success. Steve Downie had considerable skills. Cheap shot artist. Matt Cooke was very good as a junior. Cheap shot artist. Basil McCrae was a high scoring winger as a junior. Pure fighter in NHL. Most "goons" were good junior players, but have to resort to different styles of play at the next level. Players with actually hockey skills do resort to cheap shots at times. Dale Hunter had considerable offensive and defensive talent, but I think ************ Turgeon may feel that he would occasionally resort to cheap shots.Thanks for the background info.
Query: Does he still have hockey skills to-day? Players with actual hockey skills don't resort to cheap shots.
Yes because being on drugs hinders good decision making.That's such a logical assumption. If someone takes a tripping penalty they are probably stoned. Double minor for high sticking? Drunk and stoned. Clearly head shots are related to being on crack.
Chris Pronger had actual hockey skills, and was a serious cheap shot artist.Query: Does he still have hockey skills to-day? Players with actual hockey skills don't resort to cheap shots.
So do lots of other things. Perhaps he wasn't well rested. Or is under some stress. Or doesn't have all the pertinent information. Or just doesn't care. Or is trying to impress a girl. Or was thinking with the wrong head. All these things also hinder good decision making.Yes because being on drugs hinders good decision making.
He's only played 44 games in the past 3 year and has 10 goals. I wouldn't say he's a valuable player.Does this Torres guy have any actual hockey skills?
It's amazing that any NHL team wants him. Colton Orr also had little hockey skills but at least he fought you mano a mano. Chris Neil is a tough guy who has decent hockey skills.He's only played 44 games in the past 3 year and has 10 goals. I wouldn't say he's a valuable player.
