C'mon. Post the video. You know you want to.

I just like watching carcus defend him at all cost.

I wish Backes was half as dirty as Hawk fans make him out to be. He'd be a real force out there.

NO kidding but than again the Blues are the dirtiest team in the NHL so...

Its the only thing Hawk and Canuck fans agree on.

He must have his jersey.

Cole would work.


- carcus

Say what you will but he has been playing better than Leopold, lol.

Right before Backes decided to clean the palm of his glove on Daniel's face.

Actually, Sedin slashing the back of Backes leg is what start the entire encounter. Then Backes goes after Sedin.

Blackhawks fans whine about Backes, but it's clear, Seabrook is the dirtier of the two players.

I'm sure you believe that.

Nope.

Not his mom either.

I'm sure you believe that.

The league believes that too. There is a reason that Seabrook and Keith have both been suspended, and Backes hasn't even been fined. Backes toes the line with physical play. Seabrook, and Keith along with him, are players who actually try to injure people. Obviously, your homer opinion disagrees. But my opinion is backed up by suspension history, yours isn't.

Based on this statement it appears you have some expertise in homer opinions...

Backes isn't dirty. He is just misunderstood.













Apparently.

119 PIMs worth of misunderstanding which made him the 17th most misunderstood player in the league last season.

I hear good old American cheese goes great with some Backes whine. Looks like 2014 is a good year.

M;eh. You can do better.

4-1 Blues is your final score tonight. Oshie scores 2 goals and Petro gets the game winner on the PP. And Mr. Backes will be RINGING Toews' bell. LGB (frank) the blackhawks babyyyyy

Which player in the league has no PIMS? Penalties are part of the game. Trying to injure people isn't. Backes does the former, Keith and Seabrook do the later. Again, who has been suspended, who hasn't? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Damn it's not starting well at all

HUGE save Elliot. Ooofff...

Damn it's not starting well at all

Yeah, Jackman needs to be smarter than that. Just because the refs refuse to call the holding on Chicago doesn't mean they won't call a penalty on the Blues. Obviously, call should have been on Shaw before Jackman's roughing, but still.

Agreed, they need to be cautious

EDIT : Woooo Schwartz!

This goal brought to you by Crawford having an upper body injury.... but I'll take it, lol.

They got trapped way too long in their zone on that shift, unnacceptable.
Fortunately Elliot is playing really well

I think we are finally seeing what Jaskin can do now that he isn't buried on the 4th line! Holy Jumping!

Ott is a dirty POS
