Stats show that Backlund has consistently been an excellent defender against McDavid.

Taking shots from the blueline that hit the goalie's chest doesn't necessarily mean anything. What are the stats like for high danger chances?
I watch games and can careless about the advanced stats and McDavid regularly dominates the Flames with or without Backlund. I like Backlund but he may be the most overrated player on the Flames. He is decent defensively but is no way one of the best in the league when it really matters (i.e. playoffs)
