The Story
- UPDATE: 10-31-2011: Thanks to a harmless Tweet by teammate Paul Bissonnette, Raffi Torres and his wife Gianna Santeramo-Torres are in some hot water this morning. Raffi and Gianna dressed up as Jay-Z and Beyonce for a Halloween party. For authenticity sake, they donned blackface. While we don't have a problem with this and really don't see the big deal, many people are accusing the Torres' of racism. We say those people need something else to occupy their time. Pic of the costumes to the right.
****************
With his huge goal tonight in game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals against our Boston Bruins to break a scoreless tie with only 18.5 seconds left en route to a Canucks victory, Raffi Torres is receiving a lot of attention. We hadn't posted anything about him before, basically because there isn't much information out there about his wife, Gianna. Given the media attention tonight though, it seemed like as good a time as any for some super sleuthing - and we've got it. A photo of Raffi Torres wife Gianna, that you won't find many other places. - Fast Facts: Raffi and Gianna became engaged in 2006, were married in Toronto on July 5, 2008 and have a daughter, Kaytlin Torres, together, but we the people of the Interwebs don't know much else about Gianna. Until some pretty impressive detective work by us very recently, no one even had a photo of Raffi Torres' wife. For a long time, the closest we could get to a photo of Gianna is a photo of the tattoo that Raffi has of his wife on his arm, though she is made to look more action figure than real life - so it's not much help.
Oddly enough, far more information is available on Raffi Torres' father Juan and mother Anna. It seems like hockey wives are the hardest to find information on. Given Raffi's numerous quotes on how he would prefer his wife stayed home during hockey season, perhaps that's not surprising.

he said he would rather his wife and new baby stay home for a month, not in a hotel with him. Not during a hockey season. during a trade

She married him cause he is absolutely amazing. He is a family man with very good morals and values which is something that alot of men do not have in these days.
I think she is a very lucky lady.

^^ He may be a good family man, couldn't tell you for sure. What I do know is that he is an utter disgrace to professional hockey and sports in general. A genuine scumbag on the ice. With his lack of skill he resorts to cheap shots and injuring other players. He doesn't belong in the NHL, absolute garbage of a hockey player.

Raffi happens to be a great hockey player and an even better father and husband. He plays the game like the rules are written, he does his job and he does it well. People get hurt in hockey. All of the time. There were mistakes made and people need to get over it. There have been much worse hits than he has ever done and people over look them. He handles himself in a professional way and takes responsibility for the things he does. Anyone who says otherwise needs to look up the rules of the game.

Actually, Raffi is an amazing husband, father, and person.. You have no place to judge him based solely on the things that you have only heard. Sure, you may think that he is a "genuine scumbag" and lacks skill, but if he did not belong in the NHL then he would not be playing in the NHL like he is doing right now. He is only doing the job that he is being paid to do.

I like Raffi Torres!! I couldn't wait until he could play again this season. Torres plays the sport he loves. Hard and aggressive. I'm glad that I got to watch him get his first goal of the season. I'm glad that he's on my team!! The Coyotes and fans are glad to have him back.

If he was such a great hockey player he would still be with Phoenix. Fortunately there are still some people in the NHL with a brain in their head and realize he is just a huge liability. I just wish I could get him in the cage for a 'real' fight... he wouldn't last 30 seconds. What a joke. I hate those guys that think they are tough just because they take cheap shots... I would be looking him right in the eyes as I wiped up the octagon with his sorry ass.
