Round 1: (C2) St. Louis vs. (C3) Chicago

Watching these playoffs one thing is clear: virtually every team I've seen is using the 1-3-1 formation on the powerplay. Pretty funny how so many teams have jumped on that bandwagon.

Backes just had his eggs scrambled by Seabrook.

Suspension coming, principal point of contact was the head.

Not a dirty or malicious hit, but man was that dangerous. Big test coming from the Shanahan'less DOPS here.
 
Not crazy about the Blues pulling the goalie here. Not when the Hawks can ice it/try for the open net without fear of icing.
 
I hate agreeing with Healy, but the Hawks have really crossed the line tonight in terms of being physical. I love hard hitting playoff hockey, but they're just constantly attacking guys without the puck. A lot more penalties could have been called against them if the refs were watching closer. And of course the Bickell/Seabrook hits are going to be big news.

edit: Lots of cheap stick work too, that's what is bugging me.
 
Back to the hit: I really hope it doesn't work out where Backes is done for the series while Seabrook only gets a one game suspension.

I'll be pretty surprised if Seabrook sits for longer than Backes.
 
I'm watching the UFC prelims as well as this game, crazy to think their have been worse injuries in the hockey game tonight than the cage fighting.

OT Picks?

St Louis - Pietrangelo
Chicago - Hossa

That's my fear.

I'll go with two of my favourite young players:

Schwartz for St. Louis
Saad for Chicago
