Backlund has become one of my favourite all time Flames. I remember having a huge debate with a friend about whether or not to keep Backlund or trade him. He was adamant that we should trade him as he believed he was a bust, and I debated with him until I was blue in the face that he was still developing and would eventually become a very solid player for us. Feels great to know I won that debate!
And his highlight goal against the Caps this year is probably the sickest goal I’ve seen scored in a Flames jersey
