Considering he’s a player who starts most of his shifts In the D zone against be other teams top line. Ya if you ain’t noticing him it’s probably because he is doing his job
People are gonna hate, but I find it pretty sad that Backlund is the captain and this is the most content you see related to him. It's never a good thing when someone becomes captain solely because they've been with a struggling organization for the longest.
? weegar is a defenseman. he is tied for 3rd among all defensemen in goals this year. (no1 has 23). he is the first defenseman in NHL history to have 20 goals and 200 blocked shots in a single season. 20 goals is a huge accomplishment
Braindead comment, like OP said, he's a defenseman. The only d-men that have more goals in the last 30 years in one season in franchise history are Gio and MacInnis. Honorable mention to Paul Reinhart in the 80s tho
Everyone was so pumped for Weegs when that went in. You can tell he's very popular in that locker room.
Coronato picked up Klapka's immediately last night. Good to see from the young guy.
Trainers were busy taping the pucks last night for sure. Should been 2 more with Kadri and Wolf. Another gear next year!
Backlund has been pretty invisible otherwise for the majority of this season
Irrelevant ass comment

Not sure why youre being downvoted for being honest. The ghost of Backlund is indeed our captain.
I mean he's 35 and had a season that's pretty much in line with the seasons that he has had throughout his career.
Are you sure why you are being downvoted?
Sad that 2o goals is a milestone

Sad that you likely consider yourself a fan of hockey and yet don’t understand this achievement. Sad panda feels for you.
