Good riddance.
Even if you believe what he seems to be believe, he needs to own it in a quote just like Giordano does in his exit interview.

It's hard to be judgemental from afar but for me there were two things down the stretch.

1) Wills interviewed about how great a guy Backstrom was/is behind the scenes. Mentioned work ethic, attitude, so he wanted to see him get one more start. Was asked about Hiller ... "don't see those same things"

2) Nakladal almost loses an eye. Heads to the bench where two Flames (one is Stajan get up and come over to check on him. In the background is Hiller looking bored and chewing gum.

Likely not fair, but left a taste for me.
