Gotta See It: Williams scores off Backstrom’s no-look, between-the-legs pass
Washington Capitals forward Nicklas Backstrom shows why he might be a magician when he makes a gorgeous pass to get up Justin Williams for his second goal of the night.
I'll say it first. Backstrom is the most underrated player of the 21st century. he's already eclipsed 60 assists 6 times, second fastest swe to 500 assists only behind Forsberg. all of this and he's never been voted to an all star game. even the year he had 103 points he didn't get voted in.

Sick pass
This whole game is just a capital highlight reel
Good thing this wasn't in Philly, they probably would have littered the ice with more wristbands of their deceased owner.
damn the caps r having a field day against the flyers
And how was Backstrom not an all star again this year?

I wish you didn't show every goal from this game, Sportsnet. This is embarrassing.
NicklASSIST Backstrom
Backstrom is a great two-way player.
– Zone entry
– Strong along the boards
– Assist master
– Playmaker in power play
– Good back checking
– Good in box play
I´d want him in my team.
The Capitals are straight stomping everyone right now
No look, behind the Back-strom.

How can you even try to play against that.
