David Backes Calls Out Oscar Sundqvist For Dirty Hit.
St. Blues forward Oscar Sundqvist will have a hearing today for his dirty hit on Boston Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk.�
The league has been pretty inconsistent regarding discipline during the playoffs, so it's hard to tell if he'll be suspended or not.�
One thing is for sure, Bruins forward David Backes isn't too happy with the hit.�
"I don't think that's a hit we want in our game," Backes said. "It was from behind, elevated into his head into the glass. If that's a two minute penalty, there's going to be a shortage of defenseman I think in this series by the end of it, but that's in somebody's else's hands. That's something I think if I'm making that hit, I'm probably watching from the bleachers for a few. But we'll see what happens with their player."
With comments like that, it wouldn't be surprising to see Game 3 get even rougher than the first two games have been.�
