Everyone knew he was promised couple stars in a lost season, don't think I've read a single complaint about that.

I don't think his post fit any sort of reality of the Backstrom situation. He is too old, nobody said he was garbage, clearly he IS past his prime, and nobody said we needed a 21 year old goalie to get wins.
It was an odd post, as I think most fans, coaches and media understand exactly why Backstrom is here. We're not hoping he finds his form and answers our goaltending questions for next year and beyond, neither is anyone upset or pissed off that he's getting the starts he was promised. If anything most have been appreciative that the organization is doing a classy thing that will get noticed around the league and help us in future transactions.
OzyFlame's post seems like he just pulled out a bunch of sports clichés for older players and threw them back in CP's face, lol.
