Backes is just getting ready for the playoffs. If you recall the last tow years he spent significant time in the penalty box, at very critical times. He's got a huge heart and huge talent but he is not a leader and does some really dumb stuff at the most inopportune times...

Don't look now but LA is doing what they do. Prior to last night's game they had won 8 in a row. That is an organization that gets it. They're peaking at the right time and will be formidable in the playoffs...

Yeah, let's go to the playoffs without David Backes and all the terrible mistakes he makes while he tries to nearly single handily make this team even remotely physical.

Go ask Johnatan Towes what he thinks of all of DB's horrible mistakes that somehow exclude him in your mind as a captain. Or Cid Crosby, the super sharpshooter who has never scored on the Blues.

And the Kings? Remarkable, isn't it? All those Cups?

And their Captain is Dustin Brown.

Lemme guess, you'd rather have that moron as our captain.

There's about 3 players right now that I can think of who could be a good captain on this team. And DB is one of them. So get it thru your thick skull.......clear out the forkin cobwebs........he is NOT one of the many problems this Blues team has had trying to win in the playoffs.

Good grief.
