I don't think he has it in him anymore, else he would. He has always been a consistent, hard-working player who brought it every game. He still does, he just has a less to bring nowadays, and can do it less often. He still works his ass off out there. That has never been in question. I hope he is good today- I can't think of Bruin recently that I more regret signing but who I want so badly to turn it around and succeed. Honestly, did any of us every feel that great about Beleskey, Hayes, Rinaldo? It's different with Backes for some reason.
