David Backes is still very clearly beloved by Blues fans. I’m not sure that how people feel about him has ever been in doubt, but if you were curious to see if there was still a bond between fans in St. Louis and the man that they dubbed Captain America before the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, all you had to do was watch last night’s tribute.
If this is your final game in St. Louis, then it was quite a run. Congratulations on everything, @dbackes42. #stlblues pic.
