I watched the game. Backlund was making some excellent passes, putting guys in prime scoring areas all night, and they just couldn't cash unfortunately. He was making things happen all night, playing physical, knocking guys off the puck in both zones and gaining possession leading to direct scoring chances. Just unlucky not to pick up some points. Bouma's goal was a great effort, although Guggenberger went down a bit early and left him space upstairs. Still, Bouma has raised his game this post season, and watching him now makes you wonder how he didn't have more production in the regular season (when he was healthy, of course).
