"What would Chicago be like with losing Toews, and for us Backes is Toews. So it's a big hole for us."
-Ken Hitchcock.. Blues head coach speaking about Chicago star Johnathon Toews after the St louis captain was knocked out of gm 2 by Chi (D) Brent Seabrook.
Wow is coach Hitchcock sending a message or am I one for dramatics? Either way Team captain David Backes is out for gm 3 after being whacked in the head by (D) Brent Seabrook who was subsequently suspended for the the upside down golf swing. There are some variables too look at here Chicago is is a tough place to play but Blues have been proven winners there 2 of 4 (C) Patrick berglund will be back and Olympian Tj Oshie will also play for St louis tonight. If ever they have incentive to get a W after being up 2-0 its tonight. They are fired up and pissed right now that this happened to their captain these teams must be sick of seeing each-other by now and expect to see alot of dancing tonight between these two. The Blues limped into the playoffs but have taken two from the Hawks and I look for an all out emotional effort from them tonight. I could be wrong, but I expect the Blues to come out swinging and with Ryan Miller in net this is the side I want to be on lets hope instant Karma rears its ugly head towards the boys from Chi-Town tonight!
