Just curious what's with all the backes hate?

What are you talking about?

Oh and you're flagged.

Yeah, same here. The worst was the year only 6 cars ran at the US GP back in 2006. I suspect that Vettel and Ferrari may give Mercedes and Hamilton a run for their money this year.

I really did like it when there were two tire providers.

For real? If other teams don't hate Backes, he's not doing his job. That's his game. It seems like an odd thing to point out to a Blues fan.

That's three games worth of shots for the Canucks.

Pretty close.


Edit: where is Bullfrog to tell us how bad Edler is again?

They'll have to dump it pretty quick. I'm starting to lose interest with Merc's dominance, it's the same as Schumacher's Ferrari years.

It'd be nice if it wasn't a procession. Not been exciting for over a decade.

Yeah, that added another element for sure. I miss the V-10's as well.

Too many regulations are taking the excitement out of the sport.

i was wondering if there was a cheap shot or something that warranted the hate.

Did not miss seeing Higgins on the power play

I miss the days of when each team could use whatever power plant they wanted.

He is a douche with a glass jaw that will only fight little guys...please don't ban me

Trust me I know he's not the cleanest player out there. I just couldn't recall a cheap shot was all. Just trying to remember.

The refs are horrible, thought that call was against the Blues cause the whistle went when they touched the puck. How are the refs so bad league wide and nothing is being done about this. The delayed offside calls have been just as bad all year long league wide as well.

Backes' job is to hit hard and fight to an extent. He has been doing so every game his entire career. He is a player opponents fans love to hate and would like on their own team. Like Ott but has more skill, to an extent

not true.
He's a pest, it's true.
Would have loved to have him on our team in the past...just not at this point.

Nothing like that, he's to the blues what Kesler was to us.
Love him when he plays on your team, hate playing him....
Think a less skilled, slightly less whiny version of Perry.

The politics card
What team would trump represent in the NHL?
Anaheim Ducks? Kind of a joke of a team to start (Disney), but goon it up good now and has a bunch of faces you'd like to punch.

Did Millen just say Linden was a great hire?
