A complaint of late regarding the Blues is that the firepower that everyone expected at the start of the season was missing. Where’s Backes? Where’s Kariya? Whither TJ? Why is the only person scoring David Perron? Backes’s back, all right – or at least working on it. Kariya’s trying to get back to ...6 days ago -
