im upset Sweeney signed him and it appears you are as well which makes this discussion odd to me. it's like you agree he is bad for the team but you respect him because he drops the gloves occasionally. in today's NHL that doesn't go very far. so does Lucic, Beleskey and on and on but I wouldn't want them on my team in a salary cap era. Backes is plain and simple hurting the team you and i cheer for. doesn't mean I hate him or wish him harm just feel the package is a detriment and i want the Bruins to succeed and not individuals.
