I have no problem with what he said, he didn't really guarantee it in the way I was expecting from the thread title.

Last playoff series I recall Mike Cammalleri guaranteeing that we would win the series when it was tied 2-2 and of course we didn't and he was a non-factor the rest of the series. Any player who makes such a bold claim needs to be prepared to lead by example and play their best hockey. Backlund had a good game last night and hopefully the best is yet to come from him in this series.
