Man, that's awesome news to hear about one of our best prospects.
Quote:
The back-and-forth taunting between Backlund and Tri-City net minder Chet Pickard became evident in the latter stages of overtime in game four when Pickard gave Backlund some smack after making a superb save in overtime.
Backlund gave it right back after Jamie Benn scored the winner moments. He pushed Pickard's buttons again Sunday, pointing at the Tri-City net minder after putting home a rebound that evened the score at 1-1.
His after goal celebrations are reminiscent of Washington Capital sniper, Alex Ovechkin.

Should be good to see how some of the Flames fans on this board who consistently trash Ovechkin for his "celebrations" react to Backlund! I'm guessing it won't be a big deal because like Ovechkin, Backlund is just a kid enjoying the game.
