    Backlund was really the best option. May not be our utmost best player but he is a solid leader and has seniority on the team so the guys respect him.

    Congrats Backs–probably should have it last year

    Would have preferred Ras or Weeger honestly, but congrats none the less. I hope this was a players decision at least.

    Anyone else think itā€™s kinda poor form to do this the same day as the Snow news?

    Perfect ! Well deservedā€¦ Now time to win cup #2 soon !

    Great choice for captain, Backlund was the unofficial captain of our team for the last couple seasons according to the players, and he has definitely earned it.

    I love that fans have been clamouring for Captain Backs for like 2 years and now they finally do it after getting us all excited about the Captain Ras rumours lmao

    Better late than never though I guess!
