HUGE win for the Wings last night taking down Boston 3-2. Nyquist had the game winner on a hell of a break away. I'm not joking when I say that he should get some MVP votes. Dude has 28 goals in 51 games and has put the team on his back.

I have absolutely zero respect for the Blues. I can appreciate what the Red Wings and Babcock do but I have no respect whatsoever for the brand of hockey Hitchcock at the Blues play. Dirtiest team in the NHL and its not even close.

Ahhem, Seabrook?   Over/under 2 game suspension for that hit?

PS: Go Bruins.

I took my son to the Ducks Stars game last night.  Good times.  My boys played sloppy at times, but did what they were supposed to do.  Getzlaf had quite a 48 hours...two goals, two assists, a third child being born and a puck to the face requiring a lot of stitches and new piece of headgear to play last night.  A warrior

Hit him in the head but never left his feet. One game suspension. Thats an outlier and uncharasteristic of him. Wasnt a clean hit but thats just a common theme with Blues players.

Three game suspension is complete BS. He absolutely deserved to be suspended but not for 3 games.  Didnt even leave his feet and Backes lowered his head. If Backes is able to play tomorrow im even gonna be more pissed.

Not happy, but not surprised.  As you said earlier, illegal hit, and when you add in that it was the captain, and he likely will be out a couple of games at least.  I'm not feeling it for the Hawks right now, but then I think about Detroit last year...

I was hoping for only two games, but three is understandable.  Think if the roles were flipped and someone did that Toews, Kane, or Hossa.  We would have been calling for their head (e.g. Torres a couple years ago).

Can't stand Backes (or really anyone on the Blues), but he 100% got a concussion there.  Any word if he actually may play tomorrow?  Can't imagine he would but it is the NHL.

Seabrook, in 9 seasons, has never been fined, much less suspended.  Torres is a goon. This wasn't some enforcer head hunting, this was one of the top D-men in the league delivering a hard check.  Backes has been head hunting all series and Steen has been hitting Seabrook in the head all series, its just complete garbage.  When Seabrook lined Backes up, Backes was about to handle the puck, but he messed up, over skated the puck, and had to correct, hence why his head was down.  Its a punishment befitting of someone with a history of dirty play, not Seabrook.

This will absolutely change the series.  Besides losing a top player, the Blues have been more physical than the Hawks all series, and to compete, the Hawks need to match it.  But now with this in the back of their minds, that will be challenging.  Ugh.

Are you suggesting there should have been no suspension?

I think 1 game would have been fair, given the clean history and the circumstances of the hit (Seabrook legitimately may have thought he had the puck, and if Backes doesn't duck a bit, it may have hit shoulder.) I'm also a Hawks fan, so grain of salt.

That being said, 3 doesn't strike me as egregious.

I agree with the first paragraph.  I dont think there was any intent, Backes didn't help himself at all and its not like he was defenseless.  But given the severity of the hit and the fact that it was a 5 min major and he was tossed, a 1 game suspension would have made sense.  But 3 games with no precedent or history, in the playoffs, is far too severe in my opinion, absolutely.

Just saying, its reaaallly ironic how the Blues are bitching about gutless plays and cheap shots. Those who live in glass houses...

On a scale of 1 to 10, of things said on a hockey rink (and yes I still play), that is about a 1.5 of what I have heard on a rink let alone the NHL.  Too funny that idiot websites make such a big deal about something so harmless.

I am well aware of the Bruins warts, but I won't piss and moan like Hawks fans.  I'm mad he got 3 games, because now y'all now an excuse why the Hawks will get knocked out by the Blues.

It's weird, every friend I have on Facebook from the Chicagoland area becomes a huge Hawks fan in mid-April.  Just weird.

Thanks for your awesome perspective from playing hockey against 40 year olds.

Far from 40 year olds but that is funny.  Been playing since I was 5.  Thanks for your false perspective.

Oh sorry,  what are you 27, playing Tuesday nights at 11pm?  My point is that your epic amateur career has nothing to do with this.   Woofing at someone being carried off the ice by teammates classless,  regardless of what team you cheer for.   

But hey,  in your pond hockey league  you have heard worse,  so yeah,  you have the big dick.
