Oh yeah!
Backs definitely rewarded that confidence, and having Backs back is gigantic - and I think 100% on Ward.
And the result was definitely the Leafs definitely stinking it up, but I honestly think those 3 played that so damn well they took huge chances away. Stone had basically eliminated that side of the ice with his stick, Gio blocked everything Rittich wasn't snagging and Backs made anything they tried to do pretty difficult.
I was REALLY into that 5 on 3...
