Rhett torched Brouwer this AM on 960 and rightfully so.
Brouwer to me this first season for his physical stature and past career has been a disgrace this particular season. His repetetive not standing up for his team mates jyst does not fly with me.
This doesn't necessarily mean fighting either that is a bonus. But the hitting, grinding, facewashes after whistles is all what is capable of but he has avoided it almost entirely.
Playing heavy on the opposition is why he was signed by Treliving.
I think it was what Treliving expected.
His points are his points and personal/team stats can always be worked on but his disappearance act game after game in the physical department is completely on Brouwer and he is the only one that can fix that.
Brouwer vs LA and continuing through the playoffs has the opportunity to right this.
Let's see if he steps up.
Funny thing is the few interviews I have seen him in and off the ice functions he seems like a stand up guy.
