Backlund was absolutely horrendous at right wing for the majority of the season. He didn't mesh with the players he was with, so they moved him back to center with two different players and he has been lights out.
They need to move him back to his original wing, to do the 5.35M dollar job he is there to do. Be a professional.
That's how you win hockey games. Put all of the centers on wings and have them play with people they don't mesh with in terms of style of play. Hockey is more about forcing things to prove coach awesomeness, as opposed to the entertainment of the fans.
I think that Crosby and Malkin would be great wingers, to someone like Bjudstad. That needs to happen, so that Sullivan can flex.
Sorry Since1984, I'm not trying to take these frustrations out on you, it's just that you were the last to post!
