And he himself looked re-energized, flying all over the ice. The potential teammate-relationship you speak of seems to have had mutually positive effects.
Happy for Brodie-been a rough few years for he and his family. Was happy to hear him say he wants to have more fun playing / take it less seriously—you could see the joy back in his stride last night.
