That line has always been fantastic, if they can find a way to bring their shooting percentage back up out of the gutter it could be a cheat code having those guys as our 3rd line… man despite all the negativity this year, we are frustratingly close to being a *really* good team

Not to us fans that watch every game lol.

Now if only Mangiapane would score

For like, the 5th year in a row, a Backlund line is severely underrated. Starting to think just Backlund is severely underrated.

Just gotta convert those dangerous opportunities. Once Mang gets going, Backs and Coleman will set him up all day long

Backlund has been our best forward for much of the year and Mangiapane and Coleman are analytic darlings. This really shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

I bask in whenever xG is way off the real life mark. Fuck those models.

if they reliably put pucks in the net they would give off incredibly strong “third line every contender needs” vibes.

That line is keeping us alive. Give Backlund the C.
We need a finisher for Hubie and Kadri. Unfortunately Looch isn’t the man they need. I would rotate Ruzicka, Zahorna and the other rookies in there for 5 games at a time and see what happens. If one of them clicks then perfect. If not the next best options I see are a trade for Miele(SJ), Horvat or Boesser.

It’s underrated cause they can’t finish a fucking scoring chance to save their baby’s lives

IDGAF if they are over/underrated. Put the puck in the net.
