Only two assists this season but Brouwer has played some of his best hockey in Calgary colours of late.

Really was great to see Brouwer stick up for his goaltender. I don't doubt that Abdelkader (or Acklemayer as Don Cherry calls him) put his stick on Smiths hurting glove hand on purpose. Abby plays that style, (see Kesler, Cooke, Smyth, Brown, our own Matty Tkachuk) making on purpose things look like accidents.
Loved that Brouwer starting punching head. He really is playing solid of late. With the amount of deserved whipping Troy gets around here, have to give him some kudos for embracing his lesser role and playing it well.
