Former Mavericks captain and Olympic hopeful David Backes will appear on the "Today" show on Wednesday morning as part of NBC's 100-day countdown to the winter Olympics in Vancover.
Backes is still considered a candidate for the U.S. team, but it's hard to imagine the St. Louis Blues forward won't make it if the USA Hockey is having him promote the sport.
Backes will be on a segment with former Olympic gold medalists Bill Cleary (1960), Mike Eruzione (1980), Jim Craig (1980) and Steve Janaszak (1980). It sounds like Backes will be giving Meredith Vieira some shooting lessons, too.
