I can't believe how often fans criticize a guy for playing poorly after an injury. It happens almost every time and yet fans seem surprised and frustrated by it each time.
Some guys that struggled coming back from injury this year: Raymond, Stajan, Colborne, Glencross, Jones and Jooris.
Guys that didn't: Backlund.
It happens. He'll get it going. It would be unfortunate though, if the same thing happens as took place with Cammalleri last year: cold before the deadline, post injury, then get hot post deadline, that would suck.
It would be extremely beneficial for the Flames (and for Glencross) if he were to get hot on this road trip. If he can help them get points on this trip and simultaneously up his value (both for himself and the team), that would be awesome.
