It is absolutely not time to pull the chute, and anyone who suggests that Backlund is approaching his NHL expiration date simply has no idea what they are talking about.

Well I said outside of Cp, but Andrew Walker is actually a member here too. You can see, hear and sense it in the local media, they aren't coming at him with pitchforks, but the rose colored glasses have come off, they arent protecting him like in the past. Patty on OT is certainly not guarding him like he used to.
