Backlund is starting to seem like he's injury prone / made of glass. It might actually be the biggest down side to him, which is too bad cause he does seem to have the talent. It could just be bad luck, but some people simply aren't that durable and I'm starting to wonder about him.
It was a knee on knee hit tonight, and I know those things are delicate and all about how you catch it, but some players seem to get it way worse than that and get right up. Same thing with his shoulder last year, at first you think it's bad luck and he just caught it wrong, but as injuries start to build, you have to start to wonder how durable he is.
Anyway, hopefully the above is all for not and he's back in the line up on Saturday, but if he's not, I'm getting nervous about this kids ability to stay healthy.
