The same thing is happening in the Chicago/St Louis series except that Seabrook put a stop to it. St Louis lost their captain for while, Backus is a shithead anyway so some karma there. I say what happened to Backus is karma b/c I know his history with the Avalanche.
Backus is the real tough guy that threw 18yo MacKinnon on the ice and tried to start a fight with him. Real classy.
