I can't believe he's still allowed to play in the NHL.
"This marks the fifth and most significant suspension for Torres in his career. His previous longest ban had been a 21-game suspension for a high hit on Chicago's Marian Hossa in the first round of the playoffs in 2012 when he played with Phoenix."

Torres has a history of laying the lumber on players. Supplemental discipline and repeated warnings yet he decided hip checking Silfverberg's face was a good idea. Being a big Blackhawks fan I remember the hit on Hossa that landed him a 20+ game suspension. It was late, to the head, and its preseason. Have fun riding the pine Raffi.

SPC David S. I am not a hawks fan, but if I am not mistaken there was a discussion after that hit on Hossa about pressing criminal charges in that instance.

1stSgt (Join to see) If it was a player who didn't have a track record for dirty hits (which in hockey is not an easy thing to earn), I would say it is excessive. This guy is an asshole. He tries to injure opposing players, then plays the "poor me, it was an accident card" I am glad that the league hammered him. I sincerely hope it comes with a "next time you are banned" warning as well.
