he had a great game outside of that penalty. He always plays really well against Pittsburgh. I think it started around when Crosby said Backlund was one of the hardest centers to play against several years ago.
He really is an effective shut down center but he really gets lazy other times. Anyway that shot in the shootout... wow. Do that more in the game please.
