That team had Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff in their prime, this team does not have a player of their calibre, at least not yet.
I just want to echo the sentiments of others in that I think it is a questionable move to have Backlund scratched for Tim Jackman of all people. This team is rebuilding, so you'd think you'd play Backlund instead of Jackman, even with the so called "physical edge" Jackman brings he doesn't have the/any offensive ability. Whatever.
