Here's another fact...

When the Hawks actually have played their game, they've clearly been the better team so far in these first two games.

Can they win 4 of 5? Without a doubt absolutely. Don't forget that kids.

Chicago and St Louis are streaky teams. We've lost 4 in a row now, when will the winning streak start?

When St louis wins the CUP then we can talk..

Exactly. Milk the system? Please. He got up after being knocked out and had to be held up against the boards by the trainer. Was stumbling, not there at all.

That was bad. At least Ogi got his wish.

Dumb...dangerous...and costly play by Seabs. No sympathy for the recipient. Not with all the BS thuggery he pulls out there game after game.

The only cup the blues will ever sniff with that guy as captain is the one they take off after a game.

hhahahaha i hope backed is done for the season, and more the cheep idiot.... Karma for cheap shot on MacKinnon...... St louis the bluesss
- francisryan

you are as bad as the blues trolls

What goes around comes around.

Ok, I don't want to get in a passing match over Backes being dirty. I don't think Seabs is a dirty player, but that was a dirty hit. And suspension worthy.

Nobody who likes hockey can possibly have this opinion.

If no one gets suspended, I have $20 that says that Q stays with the same lineup....
- biegs

If no one gets suspended I have 20 that says someone on the hawks leaves the game with an injury.

The phrase when they play their game has become meaningless to me. If they play well x% of the time and play like shlt and blow leads the other x% of the time, then that IS their game. So they have the seed they're supposed to have, and they're down 2-zip in the series exactly the way they're supposed to be, unless or until they prove otherwise.

There is a possibility that winning streak will not be until next season, Darth.

see nathan mackinnon....

How is this remotely in the same category as that? Let me answer that for you, it's not.

- carcus

What kind of passing would that be?

Backes had it coming and quite frankly it couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.

Jackman would have a field day

it would be douchbag jean short city out there

And I hope it gets one: just like Keith's two suspensions, there is no justification for a dangerous hit meant only to injure - and, with the puck gone from Backes as long as it was, that's the only remaining reason for the hit.

League has to get rid of those plays - whether it's by Charro or Torres or Orpik or Seabrook.

Sadly you may be correct. I know the boys are capable of turning this around, but our forwards have gone completely MIA. Anything less than the effort it took to come back against Detroit will result in an early exit.

$20 says it won't be Backes that does it.

And if that happens then this kind of crap will have soured what was shaping up to be a good series.

This is the kind of crap I was hoping would not be initiated from either team. I am especially disappointed that a guy like Seabrook, a supposed leader, would be the one to really push it over the edge.

If Jackman puts a similar hit in retaliation, he should be gone for the play-offs.

How blood-thirsty do fans have to be?

Play phucking hockey, not mixed martial arts in a cage.

We don't need to go down to STL's level. Play (frank)ing smart.

IF he plays, he'll make sure hes the one to do it.

What a novel idea? Lucic rips a guy from behind in the jewels and gets $5000 fine?

The league and the players refuse to take this stuff seriously and grow up!

IF he plays, he'll make sure hes the one to do it.
- Gerk

You sound ridiculous. You're up 2 0 on the previous Stanley cup winners and you're more worried about attacking players like toews than trying to out this series on a stranglehold. I get you're pissed but really, take a step back from this thread and relax

If no one from Chicago gets suspended Kane, Sharp, and Toews are going to have serious bounties on their heads. Reaves is going to be taking massive runs at Kane all game.

And then he will be suspended.

At this point I think it'd be St Loiuis playing down to Chicago's level. Just throwing that out there.
