Beyond Hockey | Nicklas Backstrom

When the Washington Capitals signed Nicklas Backstrom to a 5-year contract extension, they weren't just signing the player with the most assists in franchise history.

They signed an incredible teammate who is dedicated to his family, the organization and the fans in Washington, D.C. who have made the area feel like his second home.

This is Beyond Hockey with the one and only, Nicklas Backstrom.

It's ridiculous how the best passer in the game is also one of the most underrated players in the game.

[kenarthur]

Nick is pure class, great, underrated player, and a wonderful parent. Thrilled that he will be a Washington Capital for Life!

[alecwelker]

The best part of how underrated he is, is that he's an even more amazing person off the ice. #N1KY

[brandipaugh-sullivan]

That's my boy. C.A.P.S. CAPS CAPS LET'S GO CAPS!

[alexd]

What a stand up guy hope he never wear anything but that RED LETS GO CAPS

[ashleydowns]

He signed with them for his extension 2 days after I went to my very first capital game! He’s my all-time favorite player!

[QuinTambo]

So happy for backy, he deserves every penny

[enflaskpost]

He's been my favorite player in hockey all the way since he played for Brynäs IF in Sweden, I hope that I can go to WSH and watch atleast 1 game before Backy and Ovi retires! <3

My boy backy whippin it thru arlington past the west falls church station

[saperalice]

Коля молодец. Круто было его видеть в НИжнем Новгороде в паре с Овечкиным

[caseyamdahl]

Bondra was my favorite player growing up, and I thought that would never change. Honestly, Backy has him beat now.

[MrVladislav]

I am so baffled.... Like how could any decent human dislike this video. Like which part out of the 8:04 wasn't absolutely wholesome?!?!

[martinholby]

Николас прикольный типок.Молодец, уважуха.

[mattias]

You need to come back to Sweden. Brynäs IF needs you

[jasmeg]

Some players are called underrated so much that they become overrated, but definitely not Nick. How's this for underrated - 5th in points since entering the league, 1 All Star game.

[hockeyguy]

I know you and ovi are from different countries and it's a work visa situation that you're in the area. But with raising a family born in the area and you and ovi will FOREVER BE a part of the Caps organization, will you stay in the area or move your family to your hometown?? It would be sad to see you go and it would be sad for your family to have to leave what's familiar

[BoDanglezzz]

the way his knot on his tie was loose was bothersome

[robertmason]

Does Backy have a permanent bald chin strap Looks like the chin strap placement from his head

[brandalfsr]

Hahahaha hockey and tennis inside with NO cares at all about the interior

[samelanus]
