Sure, but from what I've seen they also tend to go out of their way to ignore when Brouwer does contribute. It comes across as a group that often only focuses on aspects that fit their narrative coming in.
When Monahan got hot, Brouwer directly caused a lot of his goals without registering any assists.
He also gets criticized for not standing up for teammates yet since his return from injury I've seen him go after Sekera vs EDM following a hit on Gaudreau, and he went after Folin of MIN after Tkachuk got highsticked and hit late.
