What games have you been watching?
McDavid has not made Backlund look foolish. Backlund has shadowed McDavid very well and he will be totally missed on Saturday vs the Oilers.

You know, I appreciate your posts and that is a fair statement. I feel like McDavid gets tons of high danger chances when he plays against the Flames. I would assume Backlund is on the ice against him. Generally, McDavid gets points against the Flames too.
I am just personally not very high on Backlund because he has yet to be an impact during a playoff series. Guys like Kesler and Bergeron are key contributors during the playoffs and I dont think backlund is that. Good player but not someone the team is going to suffer dearly without.
