    Yeah... I don't know why, but they always seem to mix up the two Backstroms a few times every year.

    Hahaha, yeah I noticed this a week ago when I was doing some research into when Backstrom was hurt from-till.

    Huge fail. I remember last year, my buddy messaged me and was like...dude, take a look at Patrice Bergeron's Yahoo page. And I looked and didn't see anything out of the ordinary so I said what's wrong? And he sent me a screen shot of what he saw and it was a picture of a woman LOL.

    Yeah, I've noticed this screw up with Yahoo for years. A lot of times, the quick notes for Nicklas Backstrom are actually Niklas Backstrom's. They must only look at the last name when they should be looking at the unique player ID (I assume they're unique).

    Nicklas Backstrom: 3982
    Niklas Backstrom: 3919
