Awesome work by Backlund there on the goal! He really pounced on that chance

As I said in the GDT, the Wings are among my most 29 hated teams.

And then Backlund scores!!! Nice drive to the side of the net, young man.

Flames need to do a much better job of clearing the net as all the good chances have come in very close. Red Wings putting on the ol' Holmstrom net front presence game plan.

Still think his upside is a 3rd line C.

He's not out of the woods yet. Still has a ways to go to be a consistent player and needs to work on face-offs. Might be better suited to the wing long term.

I think the Flames ultimately have to choose between him and Colborne. And you may as well sell high on which ever gets dished.

Good try Backs. Still doesn't have great finishing skills.

That was nice, one move too many though. Ran out of room.

Backlund showing off for Babcock, who praised him a couple years ago? Too bad he didn't go backhand at the end there..nice hustle and nice try!

Or keep both and convert one to the wing.

I like the Bruins model of "we have so many centers that we are going to put some on the wing."

Backlund's playing really well so far tonight.
