I watched a lot of the Blues last year and was ecstatic when the Flames signed this guy. Bought a Brouwer jersey the day he signed (Canada day sale helped) I want to love this player so badly, but I just... can't. He'll show up for a 5 game stretch, then disappear for 15. And even in the 5 that he shows up for, it's not like he starts racking up points, he just starts forchecking really well and might screen the goalie once or twice.

Watching him closely, which I was doing last night, all I see is the demenour of a guy that doesn't care.

I really hope I'm wrong and that it's just a typical case of a guy underperfoming in the first year of a new contract and he shows up for the playoffs and beyond, but so far? So not impressed
