The Arizona Republic believes it was a longer summer than usual for winger Raffi Torres. After hitting Marian Hossa in Game 3 of the Coyotes' first-round series with the Chicago Blackhawks, Torres was leveled with a 25-game suspension that was later re-issued as a 21-game ban. Having served 13 of those games during the team's run to the Western Conference finals, Torres will be eligible to return Nov. 2 in Ottawa. "I've gone back and watched a lot of video of the way I need to play," Torres said. "At the end of the day, the hit was a little late and it was a little high. Ultimately, I'll have to deal with the consequences, and if it's eight games, it's eight games."
Torres plays with a trademark physical edge, but he realized some change is necessary.
"I don't think I can afford to go through something like that again," he said. "I'll just focus on my timing, being a little more smarter, and instead of launching myself just remember to keep my feet on the ice and kind of go through guys."
