"If we play our best, I think we’re the better team," Backlund matter-of-factly told reporters during a Zoom conference call in Edmonton. "I think we have a really good chance to move on if we do our job and play the way we can."

I don't think that a series ever shifts with bulletin board trash talk but Backlund is writing a cheque, that he needs to cash.
You are not going say anything that will motivate guys at this level to play any harder.
Backlund lost the series last year to Mackinnon and this year he has Scheifele. I guess he figures the quiet respectful approach didn't work so let's see how Scheifele reacts
Who is going to step up and guarantee a Flames win?
