The flames issues in the past few playoffs have been lack of timely goaltending and lack of 5 on 5 scoring from the top players; Backlund again has easily been the most consistent playoff performer amongst our top 6 forwards and it’s not even close. The story your trying to narrate isn’t checking out Keenan, Backlund is a legit two-way Center who puts up consistent numbers and skates against the opposing teams top players, it’s not his fault our Goalies have played like sieves in the biggest playoff games and our top scorers disappeared.
