Literally bad things don't happen when he's on the ice. Looking at his on ice shooting and save percentage he's just not getting bounces to be under water.
Given how Sutter was talking about shot attempt quantities and suppression I'm guessing he'll tell Backlund to keep doing what he's doing.

Forget the fancy stats.
You can't possibly suggest, based on observation, that Backlund has been anything other than terrible for the last 3 weeks can you?
I would say the worst of the bunch of the regular top 9 guys.
This is where these advanced stats lose all effectiveness in discussion about how a guy is actually playing.
I really didn't think there would be a single poster who has been watching regularly that would have a decidedly different opinion. Certainly not someone with your acumen for the game.
That being said, as long as all is well at home with him (fingers crossed) i expect him to thrive under Darryl and expect to see a 180 in his game really quick.
