I know you didn't like him.....but the Blues miss Backes....or somebody like him. It's not arguable. The team has no Captain right now.
When playoff hockey starts.....they're gonna get their asses handed to them. I'm not much moved from where I've been the last 3 seasons....even though I've enjoyed the last 6 weeks. But when push comes to shove.....this team has no character.....and it's one of the worst versions of the Note ever.
I loved Backes and think the Blues did him a great disservice making him a "C". He would have been a great player with an "A" or nothing on his sweater. Wearing the "C" kept him from being great. His inability to hold players accountable and his disappearing acts in the playoffs were his only big flaws. And when you are wearing the "C" those are flaws you just can't have!!
Backes = Good player and great representative for the Blues and STL but a lousy choice for "C".
