Sorry for the longer delay between videos, I moved last month and have been busy with house stuff since. I also have my wedding coming up in a few weeks so we'll see if I can manage another video before hand!
My planned order for the next videos: Rookies, Bennett, Colborne, Russell
I threw this up as well just in case it has some angles other ones don't (since I combine both broadcasts). It's also mostly 60fps too, so may as well have it out there I figure.
Backlund may be overshadowed by some emerging talents now, but he's as important to the Flames as anyone else. Plays with heart and for the crest on the front.

I agree. He's a 'softer' player by NHL hitting standards, but holds his own well on the boards and sets an example with his blocks. When guys like Gio and Backs block shots, how can a young player even begin to excuse themselves from doing the same?
Backlund is due for a mega break out year. And I don't mean simply a 0.4-0.5 ppg over a shortened season. I mean a full healthy season and 50+ pts. He's certainly capable. It's just he's our man of glass.
