Definitely a cheap shot...Lucic really is not a dirty player, just not the brightest bulb on the tree.

Deserved, IMO. Primary point of contact was the head. I think he'll get suspended too.

Yep, seeing a few more times, I think Seabrook will be sitting out game 3. Needed to be about a foot lower.....

not to mention his skates left the ice...it was completely predatory, intended, and douche. he should get the rest of the series.

I am hoping it's just 1 game for Seabrook, but he has history.

Hawks blow a 3-2 lead in the last 2 minutes second time in a row. They are really in a pickle with a 2-0 deficit and Seabrook likely out. Can they win 4 of 5? Sure, they came back from 3-1 last year Vs. Detroit. Will they? I hold out hope.

Time for Pens-BJ.....Let's Go Columbus!

With you on that!

Last four minutes of the Pens/BJ first OT period, Pens looked like they were auditioning for the Rio Olympics... Flopping all over the ice!

Congrats to the Blue Jackets fans on their first Stanley Cup playoff win! Jack Johnson was awesome tonight!

[E.J.]

Avs look good!

[E.J.]

WOW JR, " I'm going to go on record, right now, this kid is more dominate right now at 18 years old than Sydney Crosby was at 18".

[E.J.]

7 points in his first 2 playoff games, as a rookie, maybe JR is on to something...

[icehog3]

JR is a blowhard, but McKinnon is definitely a special talent. That line with him, Landeskoog and Stasny was amazing tonight.

Huge win for the Flyers today! Was able to see the last half of the game after brunch with my family,

Seabrook gets three games.

Seems about right. Thought he may only get two, but two or three seemed to be the consensus. Down two games and now down their second best defenseman, the Hawks really need to show their resiliency...

[AdamJoshua]

Holy **** at Brendan Smith wanting to go with Chara after the whistle ... and Big Zee is laughing his ass off as he gives him a face wash ... you can see Zee saying "really .... really??? " LOL

[E.J.]

At the end, started telling Smith "Drop 'um, drop 'um". Smith was wise to keep his gloves on, not sure he had the reach to lock up...

[AdamJoshua]

well you could see on the fash washes (several of them) that Zee wasn't even stretching his arm out all the way and Smith still wasn't close enough to touch him

on a serious note every time freaking rask touches the puck behind the net they have trouble moving it out .. oh and that was a ****ing dive by alfredsson

I disagree on Seabrook being a douche, look at 9 years of play and tell me he is a "predatory" player. There are 100 guys in the league more "predatory" than Seabrook (including Mr. David Backes)

He had one skate on the ice when the hit was initiated, only leaving it after the hit was made. I do agree he deserves a suspension as the head was clearly the point of contact, though I was hoping 1 or at most 2 with Seabrook's complete lack of disciplinary history in a 9 year career. My opinion, worth all 2 cents.

Like E.J. said, Hawks are in serious trouble, down 2-0 and with Sheldon Brookbank in the line-up, a 7th D-Man replacing a 1-2. I'll keep the faith like I did against the Wings last year, but they are really going to need there star forwards to step up.....5 of the 6 goals they have scored have been from D-Men, including 2 from Seabrook.

I do not think he is a Douche but that was a douchey hit...and he did leave the ice as he was hiting himmaybe not "before" but defuinately assisted in driving through the point of impact. in this case Backes' head. penalty and suspension I feel fit. and it is doen. I just wish that they could get on board and call this and suspend for it in a fair and consistant manner. Again, I do not see him as a predator but that was a predatory hit as the Hawks were looking to hit Backes any chance they could...because of his history.

oh and p.s. God...please tell the Lightning to stop being ****ing useless. Amen.
