If you don't see a defensive difference between the games that he's (been and will be) gone and the majority of the rest of the games they've played this year, I'm not sure what to say. The team earlier in the year was less of a "collapse at inopportune times" team and more one that allowed relatively little, but had such punchless offense that they'd lose anyways. I like Backlund, sure, but all this is more a testament to how weak the forward group is that he's still extremely important, even in the final years of his career.
