But it's okay when your own guy does it right? Blind biases are why none of these arguments ever matter...I don't think Backes' check intended to hurt Semin. The refs obviously didn't determine that he did. But Ovie retaliating doesn't better the situation either. Love the Chili Peppers!
I watched Semin practice this morning (1/3/09) at Kettler. He looked good and didn't appear to have any difficulty skating or shooting the puck. He may play tonight against the Rangers, but a decision will not be made until pre-game warm ups.
which is why he will miss an undetermined amount of games, maybe it was the slash to the back of the knee that caused the injury that was embellished huh

Backes is a coward, always pulling dirty hits and other cheap shots. He has no respect for the opponents and their health

The refs sucked all the way through this game. Four gay penalties for the Caps, to 1 penalty for St. Louis, and not even for this obvious late hit.

This was embellished to all hell by the kid. Look at the check, it was a light check to the side.
You know why he didn't get a penalty for it? BECAUSE IT WAS EMBELLISHED.

Yea it was just a little tap the back. The awkward fall at 0:03 probably did more damage

That so called tap hit him directly on a nerve in his back and can cause more damage than anything visible to the average eye.

it was embellished? that's why he went directly to the locker room after the hit, and still hasn't played in a game since.
yeah good call on the "embellished" part kid.
