I agree Brouwer has looked better for a while. I do think though that whether or not he was the target of the rant, he has responded the last couple games huge. Love seeing fire in him again.

Stajan is also working real well on that 4th line. I just don't think there was chemistry with the old guys and they didn't play off each others strengths. Having two speedy wingers crash and bang lets Stajan relax and focus more on positioning and defense and not feel like he has to be the one crashing and banging. He also acts as the stabilizing "old balls" on the line. I want to see Hrivik, but I think I'd rather see him slot in for Lazar to see what he can do before giving up that veteran presence.
