Chicago Blackhawks star forward Marian Hossa exited on a stretcher during the first period of the Blackhawks' Game 3 matchup against the Phoenix Coyotes. Hossa was leveled by Phoenix's Raffi Torres, who left his feet to label Hossa on a seemingly dirty hit.

Torres was not given a penalty for the hit. During the first intermission, Blackhawks announcer Eddie Olczyk, a respected voice in the hockey community, said Torres should be given a 10 game suspension for the hit.
