I like it. He hasn't been bringing it at all this season.

Even on his worst night he’s better than most of the roster
Weird timing and weird move overall

Backlund is such a lightning rod for both sides.
He's pretty inconsistent offensively, but pretty consistent in how he drives play.
This year he is who you'd expect him to be ... 5-7th in almost every play driving stat.

Backlund is a Sutter favourite. All the more reason to do this when he is playing crappy. It shows Sutter applies the same rules to everyone.
Backlund won't get butt hurt over this and will be better for it.

Really? He is one of the most overrated and overpaid players on the roster.

He’s also the second best Centre on the roster, I really don’t see any other way of looking at it.

Backlund has been getting by on previous reputation for awhile now. He can get stats to appear like he’s doing things because he actually is very talented at passing and stick handling and reading plays. But does not pass the eye test as every time I see him he’s floating around, generally being lazy.
If he wanted to he could be very good and very effective. Suspect that’s what this message is from Sutter. Just try, Mikael. That’s all you have to do, put in an honest effort.

That’s too bad, he should be sent a message.

I trust Sutter implicitly. Even when things don’t seem quite right. It’s the benefit of having an actual good coach.

It’s pretty clear Sutter doesn’t use practice to punish individuals.

And yet people over-react to these things every single time

Meh. He doesn't need to hear that Mr. Coffee hates him. He's been a pro for a few years and he understands that some fans have an inexplicable need to trash on players and make #### up in their heads to make it okay to do.

I have zero concern that Sutter knows how to send a message to Backlund if he feels he needs one. in fact he may have just done so (or not) that's the beauty of Sutter

Last night he looked like he was there because his family was being held at gunpoint. You should watch him for a few shifts and let me know what you think his effort level is like.

About what?
Sutter has singled out Backlund many times for his good play, responsible ... following the system.
