I don't hate Backlund at all, I criticized him like 3 or 4 seasons ago for having a crappy start to a season but have totally been supportive of him after that. Show me where since Backlund's game has been consistent and evolved have I said I hate Backlund? I disliked Bouwmeester because he was soft and as the games got more and more important his play regressed which has been his entire career with the exception of being carried at the olympics. How much success has ANY pro sports team had with Jay Bouwmeester on their blue line? Don't bother looking it up, I will save you the time. Zero. My problems with Regehr were never his play, he was the best shutdown guy we ever had and one of the best to play the game. My problem with him was the dissent he caused in the locker room. Multiple sources reported he was an a-hole who had to have it his way and that he clashed with multiple players and staff. Is it true? I have no proof but usually where there is smoke there is fire.
