The worst part about that is Backes is justifying the labels thrown around at him by other teams.

Every fan base would give their left one for him

 

[Oberyn]

Every fan base would give their left one for him

Well if that's the case, maybe it's time we start playing the market on him and sell while his value is high.

 

[sbet1998]

The only person who was pissed they lost? Least he has some life in him

Thats not it. You're missing the point. Game wasnt over. Still 13 seconds and the Blues had the puck. He's a ****ing idiot and he does this **** all the time.

 

[Mike Liut]

This team misses Sobotka and Polak badly. 2 severely underrated players who add toughness and character

we are one of the softest teams in the league and our fan base wants to trade him and Reaves all the time.

I'm on my phone so I can't multi quote. The game was over. There was 1.5 secs left when the whistle went. I would assume Eakins said something or did something.

Backes got them to within one, no one turned it up till 2min to go.

 

[Mike Liut]

Army needs to get on the phone and apologize to Sobotka asap. This team is as soft at toilet paper.

Backes went after Eakins with 15 seconds left. It wasn't like it happened right at the buzzer.

13 sec at the drop of the puck. We seen what happened. Steen shot it on goal and there was 1.5 sec remaining. They were not going to score.

I rewound at watched it over at least three times. I heard a whistle at about 4.5 seconds left but the crowd was so loud that it seems no one caught that one on the ice.

He's got value, most of this is in the heat of the moment but still. He gave the **** up, couldve waited 13 seconds to do that BS.

Why should Army apologize when Sobotka is the one that threw a hissy fit and left?

 

[Dbrownss]

Backes went after Eakins with 15 seconds left. It wasn't like it happened right at the buzzer.

Then people would cry about him being a goon after the whistle. Eakins did something to him. I get what your saying, but the game was over

for low balling him

Wrong. That's when the clock was stopped. There were 13 when he started that 'fight.'

 

[Oberyn]

That's exactly the point though. Backes get riled up over anything and it's clear that teams are exploiting this.

 

[Dbrownss]

They blew it when Steen crossed the line. He was shooting it regardless. In this specific case. Backes changes nothing

 

[Robb_K]

Wrong. That's when the clock was stopped. There were 13 when he started that 'fight.'

Yes! 13.4 seconds left and his team rushes the puck up ice, and he stays back to pick a fight. Couldn't he have waited till after the whistle? But, ...NO.............

This team needs a change of purpose. They just don't want to be the best enough to play better than mediocre. That's sad, especially after Stillman gambled a LOT of money on trying to allow them the chance to be competitive. Disgraceful!

The game ain't over when you have the puck and are driving up the ice with 13 seconds left. Backes got lucky they didn't blow the play dead sooner.

for low balling him

Army didn't low ball Sobotka. That claim is getting old.

 

[Dbrownss]

Wrong. That's when the clock was stopped. There were 13 when he started that 'fight.'

Unfortunately I can't rewind it where I am. But the puck was dropped at 13 sec. The Refs didn't blow the whistle till 4 sec to go. No one heard the whistle and they didn't stop the clock till 1.3 or something. Steen was shooting it on goal regardless.

 

[Backes to the wall]

Agreed we are super soft. So why does everyone freak at the idea of moving Petro when we could get a beastly power forward + a stay at home dman in return?

The pens would most likely do an Oshie for Despres deal, and we all know we could get one of Wheeler-Kreider-Hall-Simmonds + for Petro.

This talk about creating a hole is nonsense. The holes already exist.

Pens better be adding something to that or else we're getting ripped off big time. Regardless, Depres isn't the answer to this team.

Because we would be stuck with the ultra soft Bouwmeester as our top dman.

Preach brother!

 

[AVictoryDive]

So a 4 game winless streak and this turns into the asylum? You people are funny.
