NHL Thread

Yeah, Torres' leaping shoulder into Hossa's head is comparable.
OKAY.
Seabrook didn't leave his feet, made contact with his chest first, and hit a player that is a known cheap shot artist.
Hossa almost never lays a hit, so to target him with dirty stuff is whack.
There is a difference.

Backes is a dirty player that tasted his own BS.
If that hit was on anyone else (besides Jackman), I'd be screaming foul.
Penalty? Yes. Suspension? No.
When you play on the dirty edge, you can't cry foul when someone plays that was back.

Regardless of what I or anyone else says, this is the NHL playoffs.
Passions run high and fans see what they see.
I'm quite sure my views on this subject are just as skewed as I feel yours are... probably more.

This goes back to the eighties for me.
My hatred for St Louis is only rivaled by my hatred for the North Stars.
Fuck Backes, Fuck the Blues.

I agree with you on a few things here. Torres had a history of bad head shots, and he targeted Hossa. So he absolutely deserved his 25game suspension. I wouldn't compare Seabrooks hit to the Torres hit at all. However, Seabrook did start to leave his feet before contact was made with Backes head. I'm predicting he will get Atleast 2-5 games. There is no way he is going to get anywhere near the punishment that Torres received.

Coward!

To be the best (champions) you should want to beat the champs at their best. You should be confident your team can beat the Blackhawks at their best.

To be fair, the Blues captain is probably going to be out for the rest of the series because of the hit.

Yea I know.

I just feel like stirring the pot, right now. I fully intend to rattle the cages the rest of the series.

All in all I feel this was bad deal for everyone in the long run.

3 games for Seabrook seems about right IMO. If he had a prior history I'd understand more.

You've had a chance to sober up?

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Yeah I'm sober now, so realize the error of my ways yesterday. I now realize FUCK THE BLUES is the only option at this point.

Blues/ Hawks... Good series for the neutral stance, ill say that much...


And on tonight...? PK Subban... Wtf? So good.

 

[chicago51]

This ain't hockey but with the Bulls losing to the Wizards this pretty much caps (with the exception of a family get together today) a piss poor weekend.

Monday is the start of a new work! Unfortunately I work evenings Monday and Tuesday. Thank God for WGN radio and the Blackhawks mobile app.

Let Go Hawks!

Chicago turnaround starts tomorrow boys!

Already fired up!

Yeah when he's on he is absurd.

I'll take the split in NY. Mason still out though,we may have to
ride Emery which isn't too comforting to me.

Yeah idk, he's got the mentality to do it but his skills are declining. He is sooooooooooooo slow side to side.

Very happy to see the Flyers win to even the series. I like the way they play and they are easily my favorite team in the East.

My friend don't test me. I will rattle your cage and fill your heart with fear (metaphorically speaking). I may be classy 95 percent of the time but my trolling potential is practically limitless.

Any Flyers fans want to make a bet on the series now that's it is tied at 1. Loser has to change their avatar to a Rangers/Flyers related picture (picked by winner) for a week.
