I'm not sure how people don't see him as a menace of this game. However, if Cooke can change...Raffi sure as hell hasn't show the ability to change.

The video illustrates Torres took this path deliberately to hit high. He had the opportunity to take the lower risk hit and still dislodge the puck. He took the higher risk hit and is paying the price.

Now, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with your post. But for conversation, what does the bolded mean to the "next" suspension?
No injury. No talk. Fair or unfair?
Let's look at a "missed connection"
Dustin Brown takes a shot at Jaden Schwartz's head with his elbow, but misses...is this a can of worms that gets opened or is it a necessary thing to subdue this type of behavior?
This would keep Brendan Shanahan a little busier if he didn't just look at hits/attempts that invoked serious injury, yes?
