He has been playing excellent all season in many aspects and has shown great character. He has been a serious boost to us all year. He is finally now just seeing the points and rewards for it but in no way could his play be called mediocre so far this season. Doob,

Prior to the 2-goal outburst the other day, he had only 3 goals in 22 games. That more resembles the 14 goal scorer he was last year, which is what the Bruins were hoping they weren't going to get.

I have only missed one game this season and despite low goals I am very, very impressed with him.
