re: The Blues 2014 Playoff Thread.

I just rewatched the hit video a couple times for the first time since the game. On a few playthroughs, I watched Seabrook after the play and his reactions. The guy is fricking goon. You can clearly see him smirking/laughing/taking pleasure in the fact that David Backes was having trouble standing/showing signs of a concussion. Seabrook should be out for the series.

Edit: I'm also not backing down on interference. 3 seconds is an outrageously long time. From reddit: "Players are often given up to a second, sure, but two seconds would be blatant interference. The hit by Aaron Rome on Nathan Horton in 2011 was considered interference and it was barely 1 full second (29 frames of video at 30 frames per second) after Horton lost possession. The lateness of the hit was a qualifying factor in why he was suspended."

Edit 2: Folks on reddit noted that on their cbc feed, Keith could be heard taunting Backes with "Wakey, wakey Backes."
