I cant give Brouwer any stick for this. Hes being a player and a good pro.

Thats what any player is going to say.
Its up to the coach then to say:
"You did well and fought hard, but its someone else's fight now."
You're not playing 90+ second shifts regularly so why would you play a 90+ second shift in OT on the PK? Madness.

Not disagreeing with you, it's absolute madness. But on the bolded... how does signing a long-term big money deal and then absolutely failing on the ice, and usually not playing the role you were brought in to play make Brouwer a good pro? To me he looks like a ##### on the ice 99% of the time, and never seems to take any of the blame for his #### play in the press. Looks like an awful pro to me, and giving him an A is another disgraceful decision on the part of the coaching staff.
