Just blown away at Backlund. Have some pride, yikes.

Thought Backlund was really good on this trip. Had a couple points, won a lot of faceoffs and drove his line the last couple games. The guy just has no finishing capabilities. He needs a finisher(s) on his line to maximize his skillset. The redeeming aspect of his game this season is he hasn’t been on the ice for a lot of goals against despite tough matchups, so at least he’s even most nights.
