The fact stands nevertheless, that Backs (yes - victim to bad teams as well) puts up 90%++ of his production when the team is an afterthought in the standings.
It is no coincidence when the games have meaning, someone is playing 8 mins / night, occupying the 4th line or watching from the pressbox.

We should just stop feeding the troll. Fact is that games are actually harder to play in down the stretch as teams gear up for the playoffs and try to solidify their positions. Just because the Flames have nothing to play for doesn't necessarily apply to the teams they are playing.
Backlund has been noticeable for several months now, even well before the Flames were considered an afterthought, so your statement is garbage. Personally, I love the way he has been playing lately and some people tend to forget how young is, so he can still improve. I think he is a quality 2/3rd line center with upside and is a big part of our future.
You seem like the guy who everyone laughs at and makes fun of because he made such stupid predictions and bold statements that there is absolutely no way to renege on them without hurting his poor ego.
