Brouwer over reacted and as did Smith. This was not a "he stood up for his teammate moment" it was a dumb over reaction to a play that didn't need retribution. Stupid fight and a broken cheek bone to Abdelkader. Something he didn't deserve.

I know right? Especially after Brouwer had the benefit of watching the slow mo replay from 5 different angles in that split second before he decided in the heat of the moment how he was going to react.
EXACTLY how I want every player to react 10/10 if they even think that Smith has been messed with. Too many years of watching too many soft players skate away when Kipper used to get bumped. And if there's every a retaliation penalty given it's 2 minutes well earned. Guarantee that Smith would bail their ass out on the PK.
