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

Like, what are we going to do - give him a virtual beating?

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.
- StLBravesFan

Judging by the immediate reaction to the hit there appears to the be the foundation of an endless circular argument of bad hit (it was) or not bad hit.

If the Hawks don't win I'm definitely going to avoid this place until the next game, and even then, that probably won't stop the endless hand-wringing that is sure to follow this.

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

gggrrr---mmmmmuummfffff---wwoooowwoo---fffffaaaaakkkkk

Lets go Blues ...Ding!!!

What are you doing here? Arent you supposed be rubbing Sedin's taint until he gets better?

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.
- HawkintheD

I am sure there would be Blues fans that would, but not me. That was obvious.

You gotta think he would have taken it back immediately after..........cost you guys a regulation win and mostlikely a game w/o seabrook
- dprice818

Losing Seabrook reaalllly hurts.

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

I think he knows who he's hitting..........like Orpik
Has a player in a vulnerable position......like Orpik
And hits to hurt him...........................well, you catch my drift

Hey sexy

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

He's still out cold

- Crimsoninja

Yup. He will get a suspension...but I do find it ironic that that its the hawks that aren't on the receiving end of a hit like this. But who the hell cares right now...just win it in OT and figure out that crap after the game. Same crap different day for the NHL. Players don't respect each other

Agreed.
- EKolb13

love how much you called the Orpik hit dirty at the time. Now you say Seabrooks hit was the same thing, yet somehow now it's not dirty.

the other guy had Callahan as one thats y!
- Jurco_28

seriously, i do like yours

- SotaPopinski

It was probably incoherent. ....like "gra hij buflo effe vesda" or something like that.

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

Oh...video evidence of one guy hit in head and another from side in shoulder?

Jump to conclusions guy...I like it...skip the details and state your conclusion. Kind of like "yada yada yada.."

Crow was cheating one way trying to peer through a screen...but BAD GOAL. Still, he kept us in this game.
- philco28

They ALL keep you in games: need to close them out.

Make a save with 7 seconds left - or with 1:45 left.

Hey sexy
- SotaPopinski

so this is where you've been holing up

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

Cheap as phuck...Torres is renowned douche

Did anyone notice that no one from the Avs thread is over here to condemn Seabrook for the hit on Backes?

Yup. He will get a suspension...but I do find it ironic that that its the hawks that aren't on the receiving end of a hit like this. But who the hell cares right now...just win it in OT and figure out that crap after the game. Same crap different day for the NHL. Players don't respect each other
- NedsHead_88

Bingo.

I'm sure he defended Cooke as he ended careers too.
- CBHawks88

Yeah because Cooke was on the Penguins, that hit on Seabrook wasn't bad. Great point.

- Crimsoninja

Watching this play live and on replay, I thought Seabs forearm grazed Backes shoulder and then went to the head. Watching this gif and this angle, it almost looks like Seabs forearm hit Backes elbow or slightly underneath Backes bicep and Backes hit himself in the head. Tough to tell from this angle.

Still came in a little high.

AGREED....i don't trust him to be honest....but he's our goalie.

love how much you called the Orpik hit dirty at the time. Now you say Seabrooks hit was the same thing, yet somehow now it's not dirty.
- Crimsoninja

I didn't call the Orpik hit dirty.

Talk to some others here that feel that way.

- Crimsoninja

Of the two players who you you say is a cleaner and more honest player Seabrook or Backus?
