“A little bit, but that’s how the playoffs is,” Backstrom said when asked if his head was being targeted. “I like when it’s tough and stuff like that. There’s nothing bad about that.”

From the man himself, nothing more to be said except……stop whining!!!!

The only one that truly gets it is Backstrom which is why he apologized and is not whining!

You are the Russion version of the Vancouver Canucks. Everyone seems to forget about Ovi’s blatant crosscheck to Dennis Seidenberg’s face. Focus just seems to be on Backstrom. Did he not take a few crosschecking penalties during the game? Oh yeah, it was just bad refereeing.

why no videos of the 3 crosschecks to the face the caps have given??? or the spear to marchands groin??? oh but showing a goalie who can fight his own battles is “dirty”…. you guys suck and you know it!

This is the lamest discussion I’ve ever read. You people here clearly know nothing about hockey.

Yes, I absolutely watched the game, did you read my post outlining the incident or did you just get hurt that someone’s viewpoint differed from yours and think that trying to put someone down would make you feel better about yourself?

I didn’t say anything about the Brouwer play because as someone that DID watch the game, it’s not something where I thought Brouwer was in the wrong. Thanks for trying to put words in my mouth, though. I think that some Caps fans, like yourself, are grasping at straws and trying to make issues out of things that simply aren’t a big deal in playoff hockey. Thomas took a swing at Brouwer and Troy just looked at him as if to say, “Really?” It clearly wasn’t a big deal to Brouwer at all as he basically didn’t react at all and skated away, so I’m not sure why it’s such a big deal to the fans.
