Backman Gets Bad Assessment

From St. Louis Game Time (thanks to Sam Weinman for the link)...

"After winning a gold medal with the Swedish Olympic team in 2006, Backman signed a three-year contract extension that runs through next year. He NEVER lived up to expectations and would have stretches of several games where he would be nearly invisible before finally making a jaw-dropping play that left fans shaking their heads wondering why he couldn’t put together more of a consistent effort during his Blues tenure."

...one of the comments left by a fan calls Backman sister Christian and I don't think he was referring to the song by Night Ranger.

...hopefully the jaw-dropping plays will be more frequent with the Rangers.

...did you notice that Ortmeyer is hitting Backman in the above picture?
