Speaking of Brouwer...I don't know if anyone saw the interview with Brouwer during the intermission yesterday but I thought it was interesting. He was asked about getting promoted in the lineup (due to injury) and responded by saying that he's shown in his career that he can move up and down the lineup and he just wants a chance to show what he can do with a new team.
He's been on the team for a year and half and wears a letter. Maybe he's good in the room and maybe he practices well. I don't know. But I got the distinct impression that he's had some frustration with his role on the team. He's obviously been playing better during the last few games but how much of that is Backlund and Tkachuk?
The whole interview struck me as kind of odd in a "he's a malcontent" sort of way. Maybe I'm wrong and seeing things that aren't there. But if so, he's got to go as soon as possible.
