I get that you don't want to accept that it was a bad hit. But everyone sees the hit except those that have on homer glasses that was not only a penalty, but should be a suspension.

Kind like when Backes and Reeves lay out those hits and Blues fans call them clean hits. Let's face it, when those hits happen, the team with the hitter is going to say it's clean and the team with the hitter is going to say it was dirty. It is what it is.

Simple eye exam will allow you to see there is no difference.

I'm sure Backus will be back for the OT.......... Just like Sobotka too.
Bickell's attempt was to throw his shoulder into him, but Sobotka tried to avoid the hit and Bickell's knee was out there. Kind of a faker this Sobtka huh ???

Coming from a team with Brooks Opr1ck. (frank) off.

Great, a guy from Pitt chirping in. And Orpik ... never mind.

I'm sure he defended Cooke as he ended careers too.

Guys that's a bad hit. Let's not try to rationalize it. Hopefully the boys pick him up and we get the W

Yeah it's bad.... Just want the win. The other crap will be sorted out later.

carcus, I appreciate you as a poster. However, it's time you moved over to your own thread.

Agreed, not a good time for him to be here.

It was unfortunate. Can't believe no one laid out to block that last shot.
- philco28

And can't believe Crawford was so out of position - just cover the short side when the shooter is so far over to the boards.

But - again - Seabrook the ultimate bad play - and too much stupid by the whole team.

- Crimsoninja

We all know Seabs isn't a dirty player. I've got no beef with the hit AT ALL.

Backes was out cold for a few seconds.....

You might need to get your eyes checked. For real.
- carcus

Pot meet kettle Carcus. Backes plays dirty and loves to line guys up like this. I'm not saying the hit was clean and Seabs needs to be smarter, but this is the kind of play you guys have been lauding all year.

If the play was reversed and it was Backes hitting Seabs all we'd hear from Blues fans is Seabs needs to keep his head up. You can tell me I'm wrong but somehow I don't think so.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I said the boy was a troll a couple weeks ago and y'all won't listen.

Toews didn't have the puck when he was hit.
- CBHawks88

Agreed.

Questionable hit and you don't want to see guys get hurt (even Backus) who's usually on the other end off these situations. That said tell me that the Hawks are not on the receiving end of these things far to often. Do I have to mention Orpik or that other d-bag Raffi Torres so spare me all the pontificating about it. It happens he was penalized unlike the other two and it may cost the Hawks the game.

Toews didn't have the puck when he was hit.
- CBHawks88

Toews controlled the puck before he was hit. Call it a late hit I'd you really want. Backes never had possession of the puck before he was hit. That is going to matter.

I am calm. I am not saying nasty things about individuals posting here. I can control myself, if others can't because I post, that is on them.

Crow was cheating one way trying to peer through a screen...but BAD GOAL. Still, he kept us in this game.

i love the playoffs

See his crazy eyes as he was mouthing off to Toews? Would love to know what was said...

I'm sure Backus will be back for the OT.......... Just like Sobotka too.

We will see....it wouldn't surprise me if backes is done for the series.

Now there's a guy who do anything to (frank) another player over. Just ask Erik Karlsson.

Yeah it's bad.... Just want the win. The other crap will be sorted out later.
- Tugboat

You gotta think he would have taken it back immediately after..........cost you guys a regulation win and mostlikely a game w/o seabrook

We all know Seabs isn't a dirty player. I've got no beef with the hit AT ALL.
- philco28

How'd you feel about the Torres hit on Seabrook?
