Was Forsberg ever made captain? (either one)

How long do we reckon it will take for the NHL shop to slap a C on the Backlund jerseys?

Backlund showing the UFAs that even though it's Calgary, you can still be a team player and take a fair deal that isn't overlong.
Proud of him for stepping up, especially today.

Wow, you are truly an unbelievable prick.
Maybe you should take a timeout.

Seems strange that you’d go out of your way to take a drive by on a guy who has contributed a lot to this community.
Completely unnecessary and ######y.

A stunning fall from grace.
So fast and so far.
I agree with others. Backlund never wanted to leave Calgary. He wanted to leave Sutter.
Damning.

Just find it amusing that the CP Insider has broken 0 news since telling everyone how much in the know they are.
They have contributed a lot of gifs though. I guess that counts.

Fun Fact - Adam Pardy scored his first NHL goal in that game.

Anyone that doesn't like this contract or Backs becoming captain is out of their damn mind. This type of player is so underrated because he isn't on PP1 and leading the team in points. But he's just as important.
- Plays against the best competition
- Plays on both sides of the ice
- Plays on both sides of special teams
- Still contributes on the top half of the team for points while playing defensive
An argument can be made that he helped with the development of Tkachuk. Mangiapane is better with him.

Off topic, but has Darryl spoken publicly about the year that was and the Flames moving on?

It's truly pathetic behaviour honestly. It was an emotional day for the organization then they released some news that we all could feel good about naming backlund captain. I came into this thread looking for some relief after feeling emotional from the previous news of the day and all I find is one poster being such a pathetic scumbag to another. People are hesitant to post on these boards because some make it their goal to be the main character of all the threads.
