NHL fans were again shocked by the actions of head disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan after he tacked four games onto Andrew Shaw’s controversial three-game suspension for the brutally dirty hit Raffi Torres laid on Marian Hossa Tuesday night.
“After reviewing the Torres first-period hit on Hossa,” said Shanahan shortly after Phoenix beat Chicago 3-2 in OT, “it’s clear to the NHL that only an extension of Shaw’s suspension will properly punish those involved and further remove the incentive for dirty hits during the remainder of the playoffs.”
