Raffi Torres has been suspended for 25 games by the NHL for his hit on Marian Hossa.

You can read a full description (and see the Brendan Shanahan video) in an article by CBS Sports. Here's an excerpt:

At that point it came to the sentencing and when Shanahan added in the fact that Hossa was seriously injured on the play -- he missed Game 4 and won't play in Game 5 either. Then Shanahan got into Torres' extensive history with the department of player safety, including two incidents this season. He takes the time to break down each of the illegal hits that Torres has been punished for in the past in the video.

Eventually you end up with the recipe for a 25-game suspension.

This means that even if the Coyotes make it all the way to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, Raffi Torres is out for the remainder of the playoffs.

Pretty severe. What do you think about the suspension? Is it merited given Hossa's injury?
