I agree that it looks like Chicago's done at this stage, I still don't expect Vancouver to sweep them. Frankly I hope they don't for various reasons, not the least of which being I think the Canucks need to face some adversity before they meet the next round opponent.

As for Torres, that wasn't a good hit by any stretch of the imagination but I'm not convinced he was targeting Seabrook's head. To me it looks like Torres was expecting Seabrook to have turned around before Torres actually hit him which would have made it a completely different hit. That said, Torres still needs to have control over his body and checks at all time so he'll deserve anything the league decides to hand out in terms of supplementary discipline. Like I mentioned in a previous post, if the NHL is serious about removing head impacts they need to crack down on every instance, intentional or not.
