IlliniKrush Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 02:04 PM) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
