I actually find it a bit concerning that Backlund has to get a 3rd party skating coach to tell him what he is doing wrong. I would hope that the Flames would be getting more of these resources in-house.

They obviously have coaches who work with the team as a whole along with players on an individual level. Sometimes though it's helpful to get a different perspective than what you've been working with for the last couple years whose time is dedicated to you and you alone for that moment.
Sometimes opinions and training philosophies just don't mix. There's a reason why these 3rd party trainers are popular with various athletes since you can try and see what works for you as an individual.
