No issue with Brouwer. Sure you'd like to see more results on the ice at times but vets like that don't have to be flying all over the place every game, and criticized like a scape goat if he's not. This guy has been through more playoff wars than anyone else on the roster, so I'll take that intangible heading into the playoffs and hope he lives up to his expectations there.
Bouma on the other hand needed to be in the penalty box a few times in the third, for fully engaging and forcing the Ducks to pay for their retaliation, more then Backlund was in the box,but no.
