Now: Present evidence addressing your claim that the quality of shots by McDavid's line vs. Backlund's line is sufficiently higher than the quality of shots by Backlund's line vs. McDavid's line to overcome the disadvantage in quantity of shots. Bonus points if you can show that other top defensive lines in the NHL are doing any better against McDavid's line, since your position appears to be based on the claim that Backlund is not a good defensive centre.

Or else, you know, admit you don't have a case.
That is a false statement. I said Jankowski would at least do 50% of what Backlund does.

My statement that Backlund is not "one of the best" (never said he isn't good) is based on the fact that he hasn't ever done much in the playoffs.
