Clean? What a joke. Backes didnt have the puck, was unsuspecting and defenseless, leaves his feet, and injures a player. Should have been more than 3 games.

Didnt leave feet, got checked in the front. The only argument you can make is that he didnt have the puck for 2-3 seconds before Seabrook laid him out, but Seabrook might not have known that

I'll agree with whatever you want on this dirty hit as long as you'll admit Duncan Keith is a piece of shit.

But the only reason it was sort of from the front was because Backes turned at the last second. The intent was there. Also the principal point of contact was the head.
I just point out the "left his feet" part because of so many mouth-breather Pens fans over the years that have claimed that after every Ovechkin hit where his feet weren't leaving the ice until after contact with the other player.

What intent? Maybe Seabrook was expecting Backes to turn towards him.
I mean do you really want to start suspending players for "intent"?
As far as the check to the head, its a minor penalty. Not even a major or a game misconduct.
Speaking of Pens, how many games was Brooks Orpik was suspended for when he put the exact same hit on Jonathan Toews earlier this season?

The heck is going on in Columbus? Is it Fleury just shitting the bed, or is it a whole team effort? I virtually always cheer for the underdog, so if the Blue Jackets can eliminate the Penguins, I'm all for it.

Brosar, you know they consider intent with regards to suspensions. Come on man, at least pretend like you follow hockey a little.
Yes, there is no provision for a check to the head to get a major penalty or a game misconduct, but if the ref determines the player was deliberately targeting the head in an attempt to injure the opponent, a match penalty and/or suspension could occur.
People acting surprised about Fleury in the playoffs is strange btw.

He gave up two early goals that he should of controlled better but he seems to of tightened up since. It's mostly the Pens D shitting the bed, giving up the puck left and right. Gotta give credit to CBJ shutting down Sid and Malkin and Bobro, the fucker, is in top form.
That said I still say Pens in 6 unfortunately.
Edit: nm, Pens just woke the fuck up.
Youre a fucking tool. Intent? How bout the intent were Seabrook didnt for one millisecond even look at the puck and try and play it? Backes had his back turned and there was no intent on playing the puck at all.

Damn. Don't have cable, and wasn't watching online. Bloody Penguins stepped it up, didn't they?
