I agree, but just have a feeling that on the ice now, he's thinking more husband and daddy than he is tough guy.

I hope the advanced stats guys start tracking puck possesion to scoring chance ratio, because the Kings are probably by far the worst in the league for the past 3 years

I don't agree with you all. Brown is a great player and tied Kopi with points in the playoffs. Why doesn't that count anymore? He is a rough plalyer, no finesse. He will never be a pretty player, but I tell you 29 other teams would **** their pants to have him. Plus, lets be real and give just as much crap to the other players as well. This team is not just Brown

The whole team is bad right now but when they play like this, I look at the captain and the players with the biggest paycheck. They are role players that need to take initiative.

Oh I agree abt the whole team but Browns change is just so obvious. Difference of night and day with him.

This is proof that the "same team", isn't necessarily the same team. Even beside the obvious injuries, this team is still not the same team as last year.

Well, most of that crap was started by a certain Mr. T by saying he was minus forever. I always hated that so much.

Brown was great with the possibility of having his family relocate in the air. Maybe that doesn't play a factor, but I dont know what motivates this guy, how can he still not understand what type of game he has to play to have success.

Not to necessarily single him out. I can list a plethora of things that irk me about each player on this team.

Yeah... all the post-Cup partying and stuff has turned them into a bunch of soft, heartless, gutless little bitches.

They already won the Cup. They don't care about winning it again this year... if it means putting in EFFORT. They are happy to coast by right now.
