Sweet! Well deserved for Backs. I'm just happy that a Flame made "player of the week" status at all this year. One of those rare highlights in an otherwise long year.

Nice league wide recognition for Backlund. His confidence is already as high as ever and this will only help him believe in his game!

All these positive threads are ####ing annoying. Can't we go back to making trade proposals like Backlund for Tuomo Ruutu & a pick? Those were the days...

Clearly his skating needs improvement.

Came to make a KHL joke at the expense of O'sullivan. Saw I was beaten multiple times.
Leaving satisfied regardless.

LOVE seeing this kids succeed. I don't know why, but I've always been a fan. He played 30 pounds bigger with the A on his chest and continued it the other night when Cammalleri returned.

I'm glad the organization has been patient and let him develop. Starting to pay dividends.

Is this a joke? Backlund is a fine skater. He's not the fastest but he wins a lot of one on one foot races for the puck. Plus he's quick at getting back on the backcheck.

Lol it's a running joke. He went on a point streak after Burke made some offhandish comments about how his skating was lacking; now every time Backs gets a point you're likely to see a dig or two at Burke's comments.

Mikael Backlund skates while pushing a chair in front of him as support.

Congrats Backlund!
Interesting stat that the last Flame player to receive this honor besides Kipper or Iggy was Bourque, wow and in 2010.
any bets on the next Flames players to be a star of the week? ]
My bet is on Gio.
