LOL, I like how the media has completely forgotten the Blues are one of the dirtiest teams in the league because they think Keith trash talked Backes. Come on.

Eh, that was pretty classless, I'm not a fan of stuff like that when guys are clearly injured/dangerously injured. Not the first time the Hawks have done this. And now, before you say "every team in the league talks s***," there's a difference, IMO, between talking s***, and chirping when guys are seriously hurt.

 

I have to draw the line somewhere. Believe me, I don't like Backes either. Keith's a great player, but he's a total dickhead. He may have not known that the hit was dirty, perhaps, but even so, it's just unnecessary. I don't get anything from it.

 

Blues haven't done anything similar to that this series, so it's OK that the Hawks get called out for that.

You have no idea what they've said on the ice and they've shown over the course of basically your entire lifetime that they are a classless organization. One hit doesnt change any of that. The Hawks are a team who have won cups with skill over bulls*** hockey teams like that twice now, and there is no reason to forget that.

With the downfall of the Canucks, the Blues might be the dirtiest team in the NHL right now.

Good call.

Backes officially out. As if there was any chance he'd play.

He's basically dead.

I'm not dead yet.

Crawford needs to be a little better for the Hawks to make a run. Starting tonight.

I don't need to know what has been said, but I know what hasn't been said. There hasn't been a hit on any Hawk that had knocked him out and given him a concussion. Therefore, the Blues haven't even had the opportunity to make such a comment on a brutally injured player.

 

Look, I don't like the Blues, I'm not defending them - I'm concerned about the Hawks. I just don't like the Hawks going down to such a level. Like you said, win with skill over bulls*** hockey, or worse yet, insults to players that clearly don't need it at the time. To me, that's going too far. If St Louis did that I'd be pissed, but I wouldn't want the Hawks to do it on top of it. I'd just call the Blues out for being ass clowns.

 

For as much as the Blues are hated, and have a reputation, we're being the idiots here so far. Seabrook's hit + Keith's yapping have been the 2 dumbest, cheapest things in the series. Don't get caught up in that crap, go win a GD hockey game.

He hasn't been the problem, really. You know what's a problem? No forward has a goal since the first period of game one.

About half of the fans in Columbus thought they were going to an ohio state game.

Columbus is a large city and OSU has been the only game in town since well, ever.

People are shocked how big Columbus is when you look at it.

I always thought it was the same size as most Midwest college towns.

 

See what happens when you get pucks to the net!

I've won many a bet asking which is larger Columbus or Boston, Denver, Detroit, Seattle etc.

I've actually been there a couple different times. Saw Weird Al 20 years ago at the state fair, saw hockey there, and had a business trip there. Always reminded me of Indy. A collection of a lot of small town people.

Pretty good comparison. People also don't know how large Indy is either.

Stop being cute and skate the puck out.

Don't worry about the hook that turned Kane around.

True. A million people there.

What are these refs watching? Missed interference then a blatant offsides. But then call Bickell.

Tough guys who don't fight are the worst.

That was an important save by Craw after getting nothing out of the back to back PPs
