Fair warning

For anyone who says Backstrom was just benefiting from Lemaire’s system, I’m punching you in the face and showing you highlights of this game.

by SpaethCo on Oct 17, 2009 10:13 PM CDT reply actions  

hahaha

Backs has talent, I don’t think many people can deny that.

but

Backs was just benefiting from Lemaire’s system. The benefits: 30+ wins, a nice SV% and a nicer GAA.

Note: I hate Luongo.

just throwing that out there.

Ugly Game

lost 2-1…and Greenlay’s Homerism at the end didn’t ease the pain.
