There's a huge difference there, friend. Backes runs his mouth an awful lot and backs down from legitimate scrappers, and only fights guys he is sure he can knock around. Do you see guys like Zetterberg, Franzen, Datsyuk, etc running their mouths at all? Fighting anyone at all? No. On the other hand, Backes will chirp everyone, but will only go with a select few.Unlike all the red wings players who are constantly looking to beat up the toughest enforcers.

It's crazy how many d-bags vancouver has on their team.
Any chance Tootoo impresses and he is taken off your list of hated players? Or is he set in stone?
