They blew it when Steen crossed the line. He was shooting it regardless. In this specific case. Backes changes nothing
At some point, he will be. Whether its the Blues or another team. Tarasenko as well.I think Schwartz would be an awesome captian. Kid fits the bill from his interviews
Unfortunately I can't rewind where I am. I remember the puck going up the boards while Backes was towards center. And I agree that he didn't show much leadership. All I'm saying is its a safe bet this game wasn't lost because of Backes at the endLook at the replay again. The puck goes right by Backes, who isn't even paying any attention to the play. If he makes a play with that puck, who knows what happens. It was a dumb display of leadership lacking. The captain has a chance to make a play with the pick with 13 seconds left, and instead he is focused on exacting revenge on a player. Inexcusable.
Oh idk....scores goals, forchecks and backchecks hard. Stands in front of the net providing shade for the goalie.
They ran him on Stastny's wing and It didn't look good at all.
You just describes a power forward RW
All of which he can do while playing center and make a greater impact defensively than he would on the wing.
Debatable. I think he would be way more effective on Stastny's wing.
Lucic - Stas - Backes
Oh my

Oh my
Lucic is a league wide joke. Before the end of the year you'd realize he's the fakest "tough guy" in the league who does little more than embarrass himself.

Lucic - Stas - Backes
Oh my
Except he wasn't more effective on Stastny's wing. That experiment already happened and it didn't work. He's been much more effective at center for his entire career.
Lol...2 fake tough guys on 1 line ftw.
Backes isn't in Lucic' class as a fighter, not even close. Backes would get wrecked badly.
Hard to keep track. You're asking a lot here man. Math is hard.How many playoff series' have the Blues won with Backes as their #1 C?
