Backlund - never liked him, got a lot of flack here back a few years ago when I strongly disagreed with people seeing him as the future first-line centre. Too soft, too predictable, too inefficient.
Hartley - never liked him either despite the award last season. When a coach keeps repeating "we have to play our game", I lose faith in his smarts. You have to play a different game against a different team exploring and capitalizing on opponent's weaknesses. This is how other teams are winning against Calgary.
Don't agree with losing Colborne yet - yeah, he sucks now, but he's way too young to call for his head. He's got the potential to be a very good player. Just needs to be coached right.
