Twitter reacts to Seabrook's hit on Backes
/ Chris NicholsRelated: Luongo delivers on Twitter... again
You saw the hit late in the third period of Game 2 between the St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks: Brent Seabrook vs. David Backes.
Twitter reaction, naturally, was instantaneous.
Chris Porter on Backes: "As soon as that hit happened, we're like, 'We're winning this for him.'" #stlblues

My feed is jammed with Orpik/Toews truthers downplaying Seabrook hit.

Hitch said Backes is not good. #stlblues

Hitchcock: I have no thoughts on the hit. I’ll let the league deal with it.

I'll bet Seabrook's violation is less Rule 48 (head shot), more interference (late) or charging (launching). @NHLPlayerSafety reviewing.

Took some Twitter time off today. Anything happen? Yikes. I have to believe CHI's Seabrook likely to be suspended for hit on Backes.

#Blackhawks' Brent Seabrook: "I feel bad seeing a guy like that on the ice. I've been there myself. I'm not trying to target his head."

Coach Q says he's not commenting on Seabrook's hit on Backes. #Blackhawks

Seabrook: "I was just trying to make a play on Backes. I thought the puck was there ... I just tried to finish my hit." #Blackhawks

#Blackhawks' Brent Seabrook said he wasn't targeting the head with hit on Blues' David Backes. Hopes Backes is OK.

Can we see Hitch's postgame tirade about Seabrooke please? Hello? NBC?

I'd be shocked if Seabrook isn't suspended - but I'd also be surprised if Backes isn't seriously hurt #stlblues #bndblues

You know it's a big hit when the older brother texts you about it. pic.twitter.com/rfVMhKNl69

Charging?????

Disgusting hit by seabrook! He should be done for the rest of the year, and I now want St. Louis to win so bad.

Took yet another look at Brent Seabrook's hit on Blues' David Backes. Going to be at least a 2-game suspension and likely more. #Blackhawks

Good thing that Brent Seabrook didn’t grab David Backes’ crotch otherwise he’d be in line for a serious fine.

To me, NHL could nail Seabrook for charging or Rule 48 or even elbowing. Backes injury would increase supplemental discipline.

Looked at replay several times. Puck is gone. Backes turns but not just before. Head main point of contact. Seabrook's skates off ice.

Seabrook just lambastes Backes. Yikes. #Blackhawks

Boy oh boy...Brent Seabrook va entendre parler longtemps de sa mise en échec sur Backes. Coude au visage...ouf. #blackhawks vs #blues
