Torres did leave his feet and it was charging, but from my view he didn't make head contact.

TSN said it was 0.8 seconds.

They are actually waiting to announce it, which means it's probably fairly sizable.

-Violated 3 rules (interference, charging, illegal check to the head)
-Severe injury
-Suspended 5 times in the past, including multiple in the last 2 years for similar hits

Are you asking because 4 of the 5 happened since I said that last year? Then yes. If you're asking whether or not I was still accurate then, the answer is also yes.
