I like the Flames guys, I want us to win ad am cheering hard. No need for angry posts at me because I think Backlund should be putting up a few points.

I hear what you are saying, but don't agree with the bolded above. Obviously it'd be nice for him to produce but his game is much much more than points. I don't really think we're disagreeing ultimately. Just that chirping Backlund in an inflammatory way for only having one assist, after his best game of the playoffs, after a tough loss, is what people are reacting to.
