Lucic fires a cross ice puck in the air from the boards to Backlund on the other boards, Backlund takes it one touch on his backhand, with a guy on him and no look backhands it off the boards from his side of center. The perfect bank pass right onto Mangiapaines stick all in one fluid motion.
I cannot find the goal online to post it but it really is a thing of beauty, has to be the best pass of the season. I dont know how many guys in the league could have made that play happen.

Yeah, NHL.com doesn’t have a video of that goal for some reason. If you click on their game tracker you can watch highlights from the entire game though (including the GWG). Really slick play by Backlund.
Speaking of Backs, can someone explain his “interference” minor penalty? I might have missed something but he cross checked a guy with the puck and he went down. To me that wasn’t interference by definition, nor was it a penalty for cross-checking (as it was no worse than what you see when guys are battling along the boards)...
