I'd just like to see us make it a lot harder for teams in our building. It's ridiculous how many points we're giving away here this season.
Backlund may not have had the best numbers in the first bunch of games, but the kid was an absolute catalyst on the ice. He drove the play north always, and found open ice and helped generate chances for his line and faceoffs in the offensive zone. He pretty much made whichever line he was placed on an energy line. And his jump was pretty infectious throughout the lineup, you could especially see it leading up to his injury.
Boy do we ever need Cammy and Baertschi in this week. Put Cammy on the top line, I'm sick of the whole thread it to Iggy mentality. You need two triggermen up there. And before Cammy's injury he was working pretty well there too.
