I hope him and Neal annoy Tippett about needing more minutes as their excuse for poor play all year.
Quote:
“The last five years I had the reputation of playing well in the playoffs,” Brassard told the paper. “But my responsibilities in Ottawa and New York were playing in the top-six and playing 18-20 minutes a night. I’m someone who likes to play with emotion. I think the last five years I proved that. In Pittsburgh, I had a hard time getting involved in games and being myself.
“Their expectation was for me to be a 50- or 60-point guy. What third-line centre has 50-60 points? You’re limited somewhere — ice time or whatever.
“I think we both kind of agreed it wasn’t a good fit.”
