NEW YORK -- The NHL has dropped the hammer on Raffi Torres. The league suspended the Phoenix Coyotes winger 25 games Saturday for his hit that injured Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa. The announcement was made hours before the Coyotes had a chance to eliminate Chicago in Game 5 of their first-round series. Torres left his feet to hit an unsuspecting Hossa during Game 3 on Tuesday night, sending the Blackhawks winger smashing to the ice. Hossa was taken off on a stretcher and hasnt appeared again in the series. "Torres launched himself to deliver a late, direct hit to the head of Chicago forward Marian Hossa," NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan said in a video statement. "After the puck is poked off Hossas stick, he turns towards the middle of the ice. As Hossa turns to recover the loose puck ... it is clear (Torres) sees that Hossa is no longer in possession of the puck because Torres takes a one-handed swipe at it with his stick. "Torres then leaps into the air and drives his left shoulder into Hossas head. This is a violation of three NHL rules: interference, charging and illegal check to the head." Its the third time Torres has been suspended by the NHL for a questionable hit in the last 13 months and Shanahan says that played a factor in the length of the ban. "Despite knowing that Hossa no longer has the puck, Torres decides to finish his check past the amount of time when Hossa is eligible to be body checked," Shanahan said. "While we acknowledge the circumstances of certain hits may cause a players skates to come off the ice," he added, "on this hit, Torres launches himself into the air before making contact. ... The position of Hossas head does not change just prior to or simultaneous with this hit. The onus, therefore, is on Torres not to make it the principal point of contact. By leaping, Torres makes Hossas head the principal point of contact." If the 25 games arent exhausted during the playoffs -- the Coyotes would need to play four straight seven-game series to complete the suspension -- the ban carries over into the next regular season. Torres would not be able to play in any pre-season games in that case. As a repeat offender, Torres would forfeit US$21,341 in salary for every regular-season game he sits out. Torres served the first game of the suspension Thursday while waiting for Fridays hearing with Shanahan. Coyotes general manager Don Maloney thanked the NHL for a thorough review of the incident in a statement. "The ruling is very severe for Raffi and our hockey club. Raffi plays a hard, physical game yet this contact crossed the line on what is acceptable in our game today," he said. "We hope Marian Hossa makes a full and speedy recovery as we all enjoy watching him perform." The ban is the longest handed out by Shanahan, who suspended Columbus defenceman James Wisniewski for 13 games (five pre-season, eight regular season) in September. The suspension is the longest in the league since New York Islanders forward Chris Simon was handed a 30-game ban for stomping on the ankle of Jarkko Ruutu in December 2007. Simon also sat out 25 games in March 2007 for slashing Ryan Hollweg in the head. Philadelphia Flyers forward Jesse Boulerice served a 25-game suspension after cross checking Ryan Kesler in the face back in October 2007. Torres had a goal and an assist and averaged over 19 minutes of ice time for Phoenix in the first three games of the series. News of the suspension travelled quickly around the league. "I just think the NHL is sick of it right now," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock told reporters in St. Louis. "I think theyre tired of the predator-type hits." Added Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma: "I think its going to be probably the most talked-about thing throughout the locker-rooms today." Torres didnt see a problem with a hit after Tuesdays game. "First off, I hope (Hossas) all right," he said at the time. "But as far as the hit goes, I felt like it was a hockey play, just trying to finish my hit out there." That explanation didnt sit well with the Blackhawks, especially in light of the vicious hit Torres delivered on Chicago defenceman Brent Seabrook during last years playoffs. "It was the same thing when he was in Vancouver last year, he probably thought that was a hockey play too," said Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews. "Theres no remorse at all I dont think with a guy like that. (There was) a guy carried off on a stretcher and he probably doesnt feel bad about it all. "Thats not hockey to me." It wasnt hockey to Don Cherry either. The popular hockey commentator said on CBCs "Hockey Night in Canada" broadcast Wednesday that Torres should get a 10-game suspension. "This to me is a cheap shot," Cherry said on his "Coachs Corner" segment. "(Hossa) never had a chance. It wasnt his fault. He was turning. The puck was already gone. "You cant do that stuff. If you get caught in the trolley tracks and you have your head down with the puck you deserve it. But (Hossa) didnt deserve that." The biggest thing that worked against Torres during the discipline process is his history: he was suspended four games in April 2011 for an illegal hit on Edmontons Jordan Eberle; he was fined US$2,500 on Dec. 29 for elbowing Colorados Jan Hejda; and he was banned two games on Dec. 31 for an illegal hit on Minnesotas Nate Prosser. And that doesnt include the hit on Seabrook that controversially went unpunished by the league last spring. cheap jerseys from china .

Mourinho has spent weeks responding to questions about Juan Mata being dropped from the team. Now that the midfielder has been recalled, Mourinho was frustrated to be quizzed on Kevin De Bruynes absence for Tuesdays game. "You have this tendency to only ask about the guys that are not selected," Mourinho said. "See you tomorrow," With that, the Portuguese coach made a swift exit off the platform, leaving midfielder Frank Lampard sitting there in front of reporters. Before then, Mourinho had explained why De Bruyne was left in London alongside his fellow Belgian Eden Hazard, who has an ankle injury. "This is fantastic bbecause nobody asks me about Mata," Mourinho said.dddddddddddd. "You are three weeks speaking about Mata, and now you are speaking about Kevin de Bruyne. So you are not interested in the players that are playing? You are interested in the players that are not playing. "He was not selected. It was my decision. Only 11 can play and 18 can be selected. I try to decide by what they do on the pitch when they play and what they do in training." Mata was recalled after impressing against Tottenham after coming on as a second-half substitute as Chelsea recovered a 1-1 draw. But Mourinho said he "didnt like" De Bruynes performance in the League Cup victory over Swindon last week or "the way he was training." The Europa League winners have little margin for error in Romania after losing to Basel in their Group E opener. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
