Thread: No need to wait for Mondo, cuz I'm gonna do it.

I don't know how many brain cells he's got in his grape, but Brown sure isn't using them.

He's successful when he's a bull in a China shop and bashing into people, not trying to be Euro sexy with all the moves he learned under Crawford's tutelage in Zurich. That fantastic combination makes me want to puke.

His ass needs to be a healthy scratch until Sutter's forced him to watch every playoff game last spring, twice, and then one more time broken down into every little thing he did while he was on the ice. In slow motion.

If he still doesn't understand it, then do it in simple pictures that a 2 year old would understand.

Then, Lombardi needs to walk in and let him know that he's potentially been traded, and they're waiting for the player on the other team to approve the No Trade in his contract.

Free Penner!

Yeah, he has been pretty brutal.

It's inconceivable that Brown can be so completely unaware of the strengths in his game and his value to the team given the success both he and the team enjoyed in the playoffs.

It is nearly as unfathomable why Sutter has not planted his ass in the press box or specifically called him out in the media.

seriously, brown has been m.i.a. all season long so far. I was surprised to see him in the shoot out. Lewis has dangles for days. I'm not sure what's going on with our captain, but he sure isn't living up to the role. in fact, mike richards stepped up to shane doan the other night when it seemed to me that brownie should have handled his own business.

Dustin is a proud guy, but not a self-stater. It's been easy to spot quality Brown games from the start of his career: North-south hockey = good, east-west hockey = bad. Right now he is sort of squiggling around diagonally, leaving the puck behind him everywhere he goes.

It's sort of amazing that at this point in his career that he doesn't really know what it is that makes him so effective, dominant even, at times.

I'd have him start the Nashville game with Fraser and Nolan, and go from there. Back to basics. The team has won a couple now, just settle down and play a role.

Soup, I'll even say that Brown doesn't need to pound as much as the kid, because his body has seen way more abuse. But yeah...Nolan seems to recognize his role and strengths more than Brown might. And just saying...Brownie was one of the guys that put the team on his back in the playoffs. He needs to go back to that. Not necessarily hitting everything that moves, but North/South and making the simple plays. And every once in a great while...let the boy toe-drag. You know...when it's not expected.

Nolan just can't make a layup. Neither can Stoll or Williamsfor that matter. They see the white that is Loluongo and shoot it right into him thinking he's the net.
