So we lost the last two playoff series in particular because of Backes being our Captain.(this is laughable)
But if we win a Stanley Cup with him as Captain, or even if we go deep, it will be in spite of him.
Got it.
And it doesn't matter he's on track for 80 points. Points don't matter. But oh btw, he should have 30 goals a year.
Got it.
Dumb jock, too much to worry about, not a leader......You think there's one guy on the team that thinks this? We have a Captain who has no respect from his team mates? How do you make this chit up?
Backes wasn't born to be a Captain. Funny thing is he wasn't born to be a #1 center either. But the Blues have assigned him to both of those challenges. They were lucky to have him available. Two years ago, can you tell me who should have been made captain?
Sure there are marquee guys out there on other teams wearing their C. Guys with points, Cups and big names. Backes doesn't quite have those credentials yet and maybe he's not a perfect fit but the point is he's getting there.
IMO, the guy is highly under rated in this town. From people like you. Funny thing is, around the league, none of the #1 centers want to play against him. Wonder why that is.
