Might get killed for this, since I'm a known Backlund fan, but that end of the game play he made, despite it deflecting right to a Blue Jacket was great and why I like him. He skated hard to get back into the play, made a great stick play to knock it away then blocked the shot without hesitating.
Thought Smid played it poorly and, I like Berra but he really needs to not wander so much. Frustrating to see because I think he has some potential but he'll be 27 soon, like to see him close this gap in his game sooner then later.
