At The Backstrom Press Conference
Just a note to let everybody know that I'll be at Kettler today for the press conference introducing Nicklas Backstrom to the Washington hockey press. Look for something on that this afternoon.
UPDATE: Some pics from the presser. Backstrom was a little overwhelmed at times -- what kid wouldn't be in a situation like this one -- but pretty happy to be there. As time wore on, he got more comfortable with the media and even shared a couple of laughs.
