Backs looks solid, Baertschi looks like he does have a scores touch and Horak looks like he will contribute nicely. Still need a few more studs on the team (ie Center and D), but this looks like the beginning of a decent core

Backs is playing like he wants a long term deal from the Flames. Hartley seems to be a positive motivator and seems to have inspired Backlund. The fight was something I never expected to see from Backlund. Clearly he has taken his game to another level.
I was dreading the games after we had been eliminated from the playoffs. My mind has been changed by the play of our prospects and the enthusiasm they bring to the rink every night. The energy they bring every night is something that has been missing from this team. It gives optomism for this team moving forward.
