Backlund stepping up and providing solid production from the 2nd line center position is a game changer for the Flames as it's been something missing for some time. The team does look like they are coming together but there's something about this year's team where they keep having mental breakdowns at the worst times. Plenty of games they have played a solid 55 minutes only to have a few minutes where they totally lose their composure usually at the end or beginning of periods. They can move on from this one but could you imagine losing a playoff game this way?
