It was somewhat notable that Sutter gave Huberdeau credit for scoring the big goal following the Arizona game, despite it being a lucky bounce. At the same time, the way Huberdeau said the team needs to work on their overtime performance for next season sounded kind of defeated to me, as if he's already a bit resigned to not making it this year. So very uninspiring as a fan.
No doubt I would give Backlund the C over Huberdeau. The difference in leadership on the ice is pronounced. Huberdeau started this season with lots of fan support to become captain, but I can't imagine anyone sees him like that now.
