Backlund would skate up ice with the puck, and defenders would go to him, but then he'd skate towards Huberdeau (with the defenders still going to him) and pass to Huberdeau, who found himself covered by those same defenders. So he'd then have to try a fancy pass or eat the puck on the boards and posters in the GT would excoriate him over it.

And it wasn't just that. On rushes, the forwards without the puck would each skate to a defender, presumably to tie up the defender, leaving the puck carrier free. It led to very unproductive, and mind-numbingly boring, rushes.

If the flames go on a crazy run and somehow make the playoffs despite trading multiple players… they have to embrace that line from Kadri as their team motto and sell a whole line of shirts/hats with the flames twist on a pack of hyenas taking down a lion.
