He'll get two games IMO, that hit was reckless to say the least.

I only speak the truth!
Backes has thrown a few of those in his day. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Shouldn't be more than a game. And that's only because of all the bleeding hearts out there.
I should also say as an Avs fan that I have no vested interest in the series' outcome, as long as one player has to leave each game due to injury.
You can't handle the truth
I'll say he's getting at least a game, maybe 2.
My guess, he gets one game.

Think it will be a 1 game suspension, no priors and it looked like he was playing the puck, even though he didn't have it.

I suspected as much given that he made contact with his head and drove it into the glass. But 3 games for a 1st offender seems steep for the playoffs.
3 games - putting the word out that hits like this will cost you. Wonder how many games Backes is out?

Seabrook should know better. He's been on the wrong end of a few of these. I expected two games, but I can understand three. The head was the first point of contact and Backes didn't have the puck.

That's the problem with the NHL... they don't use punishment as a deterrent.
Look at the Lucic bag shot... 5k for a guy with his salary. Do you know how many times I would have punched a co-worker in the nuts if I knew the only penalty was about 1% of one paycheck? I bet Lucic does that again without a second thought.
For contrast look at Cooke and Torres... it wasn't until they got massive suspensions with the suggestion that the next one would be worse that they changed their ways (and yes I know, Seabrook isn't a even remotely like those two).
The thing I find most bizarre is that if you buy the 1 playoff game = 3 regular season games then Seabrook received almost twice the punishment that Keith got for his flying elbow to Daniel Sedin's head. That's a little nuts.
