Alright. I am just curious where everybody is on this guy. I feel like I'm constantly 'squinting' to see the good in him, but am constantly frustrated while watching him play. Against the Kings last night he was actually thrown off of the puck, by MATT FRATTIN! This lead to a good scoring chance against. That is just the latest example that sticks out in my mind. There are many moments in many games where I am really displeased by his play. Im not looking to shovel Sh*t on the guy, but I am curious if I am out to lunch or just not getting it when it comes to Backlund. I dont know why, but I always end up with the mind-set of "give him some more time". Is this because he was a first round pick?

Thoughts?
