I can name one thing David Backes doesn't do well.

And that, of course, is “act like a sandy vagina”.

On the US team, he’ll leave that for Patrick Kane, thankyouverymuch.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

So let me get this straight...

The Wings have the curse of Bertuzzi and the Hawks have the curse of Hossa? That can only mean good things for us.
