Minnesota Wild: Niklas Backstrom - ALL-STAR/OLYMPIAN

[TheGaggagouggu]

he use his padle very well

[mkjahnke]

if he could just work on his rebounds he would be purely 100% unstoppable. GO BACKIE!!!

[YoungManNihilist]

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.

[gamekid2021]

go Backstrom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AdamVikings5]

yes

[letsgobarons]

nice!

[ilmari744]

Niemi, Backström, Kiprusoff, Niittymäki, Rask, Rinne... there are few of finnish goalies in NHL, but they RULE!

[bostonbruins4037]

TUUKKA OF THE WEST

[finnishockey]

2:40 pretty cool!

[kobeandshaqBFF]

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

[thejedi333]

@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.

[kobeandshaqBFF]

@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

[apurdy14]

Love it. Go wild we will go all the way next year!

[backy32]

I love Backstrom!!!!!!!! my username is after you!!!!!!! luv u!

[JBomb2150]

[thejedi333]

[bigjoe686659]

goalie prospect, he's apparently real good?

[evy190]

gustavsons better

[bigjoe686659]

let's let him play a game first.

[thejedi333]

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

[keeptdos]

yea a swedish 24 yr old who hasnt played any nhl games, u cant compare em yet

[Actor725]

Did he score at 1:00

[thejedi333]

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

i made sure all the clips i had weren't goals :)

[ThePensOwn]

i wish doubt that pittsburgh has this guy in net but fleury is good also doh:)

[thejedi333]

yeah, backstrom is OUR goalie!

[ThePensOwn]

Go bäckström my countryman finlands best goalie!!!:)

[thejedi333]

[bigjoe686659]

I'm awful, I only play in the winter when there's ice outside

[thejedi333]

[thejedi333]
