Well the world was falling apart that he helped build and nothing he could do about it. Must have been infuriating, especially with a tricky injury that needed just rest really to heal.
And Backlund should be fresh for the WC. A terrible stretch the last 2 months of the year when he was needed the most. Stats down from last year for goals and assists nd he signed a new contract in there too..
