I love guys who can do everything, and Backlund is one of those guys. The thing is though, he's not the biggest, fastest, best skater, best shot, most skilled, or the best at any single physical trait. Sure he's better than average at all those things, but he's a guy that gets it done with his brain. He reads plays exceptionally well, anticipates, plays with determination and resolve, and outthinks his opponent all over the ice. That's what makes him effective in all situations just like Gio. He's become my 2nd favorite Flame just behind Giordano.
Thanks for the video AC!
