O Captain! My Captain!
David Backes is one of the great leaders in the NHL. His career stats might not always be jaw dropping, but he leads in many other ways. He’s one of the more “old-school” players in the NHL, which is a noticeable presence in every game.
Since September 9, 2011 David Backes has lead our Blues onto the ice as the 20th captain in St. Louis Blues history. Much like Steve Rogers in the Marvel comics and movies, Backes is the fearless leader of his squad and backs down from no man.
