if teams stink because of lack of playoff experience how crappy are the jets?

laine in particular is a bum who can't win in the playoffs.
The Jets had good pieces in place, they drafted amazingly and the young guys stepped into important positions. Laine is elite and only helped them. They're a pretty young team and it's all coming together for them.

This is about Backlund. He hasn't carried the team, lead in points and he isn't young and improving, if anything I think he's hit his plateau. If the Flames want to be middle of the pack team who competes with 15-20 other teams then they're doing good job. If the Flames want to be a contender they need better players. Backlund being one of the most important players just goes to show how average this team is.
