2014 NHL Playoff Thread: NO SERIOUSLY WHO THE HELL IS ALEC MARTINEZ

Ya just pick who gets the OT winner. Side note, yes the Seabrook hit was bad but part of it is Backes fault. He lowered himself without the puck around him that lead to him gettin hit in the head, they will look at that in the head office and it wont be a bad/long of a suspension as people may be calling for. It happens in hockey. It's happened to me. That's why you keep your head up.

Yeah....no. He literally flung himself and pretty much left his skates. Also could've been charging. If Backes didn't turn, it would've been a clear boarding, which could've been much worse.

Sabotka having a rough day.

No dude, sorry, you just do not make that kind of hit. Even if Backes didn't turn Seabrook was going to board the shit out of him.

Eh hockey is a fast game, I've seen guys lower themselves to draw a penalty on those plays, and when they get hurt its their fault. I'm not sayin that's whats happened but it does. I dont think it was an intentional head hit, Seabrook is a big dude, even if Backes wasn't ducking much he was gonna hit him square in the shoulders/side. Maybe I'm just an old rough hockey guy. And I'm not saying don't suspend him, just that it probably wont be as bad as people think.

All I can say is: the fans are so getting their money's worth.

Yeah they had the thirty second scrap for the puck in front of the benches ten seconds earlier and exchanged cross checks in there, so you know sea brook was thinking wreck him while the battle level was still amped up

Have you ever hit someone? You put your body into it. When you follow through on a hit usually your feet come off the ground.

This hit, in game 3 of the cup finals, was worth 4 games (5 if you consider the fact he was given a game and it was only 5 minutes old). Seabrooks hit was MUCH worse.

Seabrook jumped and principal point of contact was his head. He's getting something.

Yeah, AFTER contact, not before.

[Selamis]

You know what, we fucking handed these first two games to them. Unbelievable.

following through =/= leaving your feet before the hit, lol.

[nicholai]

Eh, not gonna argue about it. It happens a lot when you hit someone and lean into the hit. Hard to explain I guess but it's hockey.

[Deader2818]

yes, I play hockey. I understand that you're wrong.

[Sepukku]

I don't like this Nicholai turd, why do we always get these scrubs come spring
