It's Thursday today. Water is Wet. And Rhett Warrener hates Backlund.

Today is today. Yesterday was today yesterday. Tomorrow will be today tomorrow.

As an Australian comedy duo (whose names I've forgotten) used to sing:

‘Yesterday
Was the tomorrow of the day before,
And when the day after tomorrow comes,
Tomorrow will be
Yesterday.’

(To the tune of ‘Yesterday’ by the Beatles, of course.)

I don’t know.

Backlund may be a quieter captain but he is a 2 way C that always draws top match ups and it always on the positive side of possession metrics

He’s not a hall of fame scorer like Iggy, he’s not a hard nosed guy like Skrudland, but he has a tough job every night and has done it well for years

He’s always been the guy to do his job while also easing in a young linemate and getting a lot out of them

Tkachuk said his dad was a big fan of Backlund, thought Matthew was fortunate to play with him

He’s not what Rhett wants but he deserves credit for what he does

Yeah, I like Rhett, but I'm not sure I can agree with his take here about Backlund. It felt like he started with Backlund not being a good captain because a good captain leads his team to the playoffs, and then when Pinder rightly reminded him that Iginla was captain for Flames teams that missed for many years, Rhett expanded it with the qualifier of number of years. It's sort of like saying a player isn't worthy of being one of the best if they haven't ever won the cup, which I disagree with. Hockey is unique from other sports where 1 or 2 great players can still not be good enough to win it all.

Backlund messed up on a play and it cost. It happens in hockey, to the best of players. I can show a highlight of every superstar screwing up.
