Raffi Torres Hit on Blackhawks Legend Marian Hossa

During last night's Game 3, the tense game between the Phoenex Coyotes and the Chicago Blacks became an all out brawl. Raffi Torres, a player known for his dirty checks, blindsided Winger Marian Hossa, leaving his feet while checking and also checked crossways. Rules have been put in place to try and inhibit checks like these, because they are notorious for causing serious injury. In this case, Torres's shoulder hit Hossa in the jaw, and caused him to fly backward and hit his head on the ice. Hossa remained mostly motionless on the ice and play was stopped immediately. Hossa was then put onto a backboard and taken off the ice no more than a few seconds after the hit. Even though there was no penalty called, a hefty fine and suspension will be in place for Torres, as he has been known for his grudge with the Chicago and even had a similar incident last year when he took out defenseman Brent Seabrook for 2 games. The game turned into an all out brawl when some of the Blackhawks players heard others laughing at Hossa being taken off on a backboard. The ensuing scrum lasted five minutes and many players dropped the helmets and gloves to settle their differences. Games 4-7 definitely will be exciting now.

Local Boy Finds Lottery Ticket in Back yard

16 year old David Reinhardt of Fish Creek Wisconsin, found one of the missing Megamillions tickets in his back yard after returning from a trip to Florida. The teen said that the ticket must have blown away from its original owner in Illinois, and that it was just by chance that it ended up in his yard. Some officials have been speculating that Reinhardt built a ticket catcher when he heard that the ticket was on the loose, however he claimed to in Florida at the time. The investigation will continue and Reinhardt could face up to a year in jail for tampering with inter-state lottery results. The Megamillions people have decided to allow Reinhardt to keep his share of the 670 million dollar purse. When asked what he was going to do with the money he replied "well, I have a pool, a boat, and a plenty of recreational vehicles, I have pretty much everything I could want so I probably will share some of it with my less fortunate friends,then donate the rest to charity." Either way it looks to be a good time to get to know the one they call Front Row Dave Reinhardt.
