Minnesota Wild: Niklas Backstrom – ALL-STAR/OLYMPIAN



The Minnesota Wild’s own Finnish Olympian, Niklas Backstrom!!!

An All-Star, a Vezina nominee, and an Olympian, all in the course of a couple of seasons. More importantly though, he is a remarkable athlete who combines skill with admirable focus, and as a Wild fan, I can say it is a true pleasure to watch him tend the nets for us.

THANK YOU EVERYONE for watching, and feel free to rate, comment, and favorite!!! I also have to add that I didnt think that this would have been my most popular video, but I’m glad all the same that you appreciate it. Make sure you check out my others at my page!!!

Thanks!!!!!!!! GO WILD!!!!

    Thanks! I always try to pick an appropriate song for my videos. Otherwise it doesnt stand out and people like you dont notice it 🙂

  2. i remember the same thing. and then we moved grumpy crabby fernandez outta here and this guy shined. hes a stud.

    and thanks!

  3. nope. the puck hits him up high and drops to his side.

    i made sure all the clips i had weren't goals 🙂

  4. agreed. he may be good over in europe but the NHLs style of play is different. im sure he'll fit in fine though. its just too early to call the shots

  5. when are people gonna learn im a wild faithful but hes just a product of the lemaire system last clearly clearly proved it trade him for young player and rebuild our depleted farm system harding can hold the fort down

  6. @kobeandshaqBFF unfortunately im inclined to agree with you. we'll give it one more year, it seems like the whole team played poorly around him too. See what one more year does.

  7. @thejedi333 dont think i like saying that hes a quality tender with that system and im saying trade him to defensive style team who could use his services were going through a rebuild and could use the cap space as well

  8. A couple of years back the Finnish team Kärpät from Oulu had Bäckström as the starting goalie and Pekka Rinne as his back-up. Championships were won.

  9. Haha I just happened to look today and notice that the video has 18,064 views… Wild attendance capacity anyone??
