I don’t understand what the hell Backlund is doing there either. Where else is that puck going from there? At least make an effort to get in front of the damn shot.
This is not Vladar’s game. He made a couple really nice saves early but he’s gradually become a little crazier in his positions. He really overdid it there.
Beating teams like NYR and then going nearly 0-4 on this "easier" road trip. Flames going to flame. Same old story of perpetual mediocrity and momentum waves. Enough. Either be competitive, or don't be.
