2019-2020 Stats:
In 70 games: 16 goals + 29 assists = 45 points.
In 10 playoff games: 4 goals + 2 assist = 6 points.
Backlund with a slow start where it felt like nothing was going right offensively. He was moved to the wing for a stretch with Monahan and Gaudreau, trying to find some combinations throughout the team that worked. I thought he had pretty good chemistry with Monahan especially, but he asked Ward to move him back to centre to reunite with Tkachuk. Mangiapane became the permanent #2 RW following the Frolik trade (basically starting in the Part 2 video), and he also had good chemistry on the 2nd PP unit with Lucic especially.
His in-game rivalry with Marchand was maybe his highlight of the year, though his toedrag setup for Mangiapane in Nashville was downright disgusting (both are in Part 2). Backlund was our best offensive player down the stretch with 22 points in 16 games.
I'll have Backlund Part 2 out tomorrow or Thursday (but will just post it in this thread and updated the title). My planned order then is: Gio, Lucic, Gaudreau, Mangiapane, Comeback Wins, OT Wins, Rookies, Hanifin, Brodie.
