Brutal Hit for Blackhawks' Marian Hossa leaves game on stretcher

Blackhawks' Marian Hossa leaves game on stretcher after Raffi Torres hit Puck Daddy

Very scary moment in the first period during Tuesday's Game 3 between the Chicago Blackhawks and Phoenix Coyotes.
Marian Hossa was cutting toward center ice after getting the puck knocked away from him when he was met by Raffi Torres who laid a shoulder to the Blackhawks forward's chin. On replay, it was clear Torres launched himself into Hossa.
Hossa was knocked unconscious and had to be taken from the ice on a stretcher:

Torres was not penalized on the play. Brandon Bollig of the Blackhawks was assessed a double minor for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct for going after Torres. Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune Tweeted that Hossa left the rink in an ambulance.
