It’s the hockey player tears for us. Before playing in his 949th game for the Calgary Flames, Mikael Backlund was surprised by his little family entering the locker room to commemorate a significant milestone. Now tied in second place for all-time games played for the team, Mikael Backlund was filled with emotion as he listened to his four year-old daughter Tillie confidently announce the starting lineup. That night, Mikael and his teammates beat the Ottawa Senators with a 6-3 win in his 949th game. Also based in Canada, it’s the Vancouver canucks leading the league with a 32-11 record. #sportsish #nhl #calgaryflames #mikaelbacklund #mikaelbacklunddaughter #startinglineup
