So I assume you missed the crosscheck to his lower back in front of the net just before he tuirned and went for him! It is uncharactaristic of Backstrom to cheap shot like that once let alone twice in one game. Classless!! I would say they may have pushed the wrong button! They would have been better not proding the Bruins into physical play!

Based on the way he played during his career, Dale Hunter is an expert on suspension worthy offenses.

How is this any different then Asham’s cross check? The only difference is that Peverley didn’t go down to the ice in a heap! Both should be viewed the same by Shanaban.

Wouldn’t want to be Alzner. He will be the recipient of a serious beatdown before this series ends.

the caps are cowards,alzner should be suspended,shut up already hairpie. Lucic should be suspended than for ripping backstroms helmet off,why is he going after backstrom,cause he knows backstroms not going to do anything. Lucic is a cheapshot artist so all you bruins fans just stop crying already

Dale Hunter is one of the biggest scumbags to ever play the game-of course he sees nothing wrong with a crosscheck to the face.

I haven’t seen them crosscheck them anyone in the face, spear someone in the groin, or come in from behind as the 3rd man in but maybe I missed something?

The Caps are a strange team. They are not built for the playoffs. They lack an identity. They lack toughness. They lack leadership. They have a former tough guy coaching a figure skating squad. They need to reconsider what they are trying to be….. If they even know….

Amazing how the Bruins have been throwing sucker punches after the whistle the whole series and now the Caps finally get fed up and they’re the dirty team.

im sick of this dirty play in the playoffs – somebody needs to be made an example of to shut everyone else down (i’m not saying it’s Backstrom, im just really sick of every other post being about this or that questionable play)

Compared to the stuff Hunter used to pull of in his day, this was like a noogie.

I never thought the Caps would be so cowardly. Alzner should be suspended too.

It was the same exact thing Asham did minus the extra back of the head punch. Match penalty is black and white
