I figure these quotes from the other Friedman thread are relevant:
Calgary teammates say Backlund benefits from generally being left alone by head coach Glen Gulutzan."It’s all about confidence for him," one Flame said. "Tell him what you need and leave him be."
Backlund’s having a terrific year. How many meetings has he had with his coach? "I think two," Backlund responded.
