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? |
I'm not really seeing the bulletin board trash talk that you are here. He says "If we play our best, I think we’re the better team." That's pretty standard hockey talk (gotta play our game, etc) and I just can't see how that generates any kind of reaction.
