Not at all saying that is the case with Brodie, nor should that matter all that much in a production based profession, but these guys are human, with lives outside the game.

Not that I think Brodie has been that bad. Not the full time stud he was a few years ago, but still pretty worthy of a top spot.
Yes, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a while back, and it can't be easy on him mentally. But he really needs to compartmentalize if he's letting it affect his play on the ice. If he can't, then maybe he needs some personal time off.
