You seem to really enjoy twisting things into a knot to fit some sort of agenda you have.
No, nobody on this board was saying that Backlund was the #1 C on the team, and if they were... well... there are always oddballs with oddball opinions everywhere.
There were posts that were saying that the Backlund line was performing AS the #1 line - and they were down the stretch before the season was postponed. That's a quantitative observation, but that does not mean that they were or should be or will be - merely that they were the line down the stretch performing AS the #1 line.
There should be a lot of love on this board for Backlund anyway - he does a lot of the heavy lifting on this team, and he was 4th in Selke voting one year. He should definitely be MORE loved on this board IMO, but insinuating that people feel he is a bona fide #1 C is just your trolling at your worst.
FYI - most people feel that Backlund would be an elite #3 centre on a cup contending team because he is such a good 2-way centre. However, his historical numbers point to him being a decent 2nd line centre.
Only in your imagination does that mean people are saying he is some kind of 1st line, elite level, franchise or generational cornerstone player for this franchise.
I will seriously never understand people who intentionally log into another team's fan forum just to troll and get a rise out of people. I have zero interest in caring about what Winnipeg fans think, or waste my time in trying to get some random strangers mad just for the thrills... there are no thrills. It is just an incredible waste of time.
