I think Backs was out there for the whole 5 on 3 too, and then came back out to finish the 5 on 4? If I saw that correctly, that was nuts - as he was pressuring the Leafs really well. Then he finished off the PK with a deft flip to center opposed to smacking it for an icing? It was classic Backs cool-under-pressure

Backlund went for the old classic 'stick is broken' routine to give them more time to rest as well. Ward had full confidence with them, and honestly the Leafs stunk it up.
