Let's see what Torres gets for running Hossa (it was a very similar hit as Neal's), I'm guessing it has to be at least 3 because there was an injury. But the lack of consistency has been appaling.

i just know from watching backstrom for the last few years that i don't remember him ever being dirty, or ever getting suspended. and he has had some head shots come his way. but yes, the lack of consistency is ridiculous-as is the lack of real suspensions for some of these hits.
but like i said before, crosby's back on the ice, and concussions and the like are on the back burner right now.
