Certainly nice not hearing from you that David Backes is not a good Captain. But wait......he was. Painfully clear kind of was.
Let's review what the Blues won with him ... Review complete: NOTHING
Let's review his post seasons with the Blues: Horrible Horrible Horrible Horrible Horrible Above Average
He was a very good player that the Blues miss in the corners and mostly in front of the net. He led them to NOTHING and vanished when it counted far more than he the times he rose to the occasion.
Get over him... He's gone... And quit trying to rewrite history as some means to explain what's going on today...
