You get the feeling if Brouwer was still on this roster he wouldn't get 40 games in and that's the way it should be.
So far he's done everything right that Gulutzan got wrong and that's a great start as they would have never won that game last night under the previous coaching staff.

Frolik is a pretty solid player game in and game out defensively. His offence is waning for sure. But I don't think he was sat for being a player on the decline. He was sat for two lazy stick penalties.
The distinction to me is important because this isn't a guy that will put up with a lack of discipline. Or maybe more specifically, if you're game is interchangable with others you had better not have something like lazy penalties against you.
