TOMapleLaughs Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Now I concur that Dustin Brown is a good player, a cup winning captain and all that, and that's not up for debate. But what type of player is he? He's one of the tougher guys in the league, but i'm not sure if you can classify him as a power forward, using the classic definitions of what a power forward should be. Is Dustin Brown a Power forward? - Big and strong. Check. - Plays physically. Check. - High penalties. Sort of. - High points. Not really. - Willingness to fight. Not really. - Rarely dives. No. Rat? - Agitator. Yes. - Cheap hitter. Yes. - Diver. Yes. - Turtler. Yes. - Trash talker. Not sure. Is Dustin Brown just a rat? A 'Power Rat?', which combines aspects of both types? Or does he do enough Power Forward stuff to be considered one regardless of his rat stuff? Either way, some rat stuff is definitely there. And he's a cup winning team captain. So the rats have indeed taken over the league as Burke predicted? Edit: Now that the question period is over, here is the hate pic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Aerosex Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 He's an agitating power forward. A damn good one, like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sestito Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It's frustrating because he's the exact player we need in our top six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 He's a dirty player who regularly takes cheap shots/runs at opposing players. He crosses the line more often than any other player in the league. He'd have a suspension record worse than Torres if he played for a different team. He doesn't belong in the NHL.

apollo Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Honestly... I hate his guts. He's a rat and I can't wait till someone other than kesler fights him. That being said... I do respect the fact that he fought kes. He's less of a rat than marchand or Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silfverberg Snipes Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It's funny because there was a post on HF last night stating that the Kings are a mirror image of their captain, dirty and dive a lot. One of the responses to this was 'Is that why the Canucks are such pushovers'? I can't help but see the truth in this comment. Just some food for thought.

Denguin Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 He's the type of player you hate unless he's on your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hes a rat and third line player at best. If he played on the Canucks his antics would be under higher scrutiny from the national media. And...as shown last night he really cant fight...lol.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 He does what it takes to win. There is no harm in doing this. His offence is stifled because his coach gets the team to play a boring puck posession game. What you see with LA is a team that buys into the system and does it well. Brown could complain that his offensive stats take a hit playing like this, but it got them a Stanley Cup so why would he say a thing? You don't have to like him but saying he is a joke, a scrub, a cheap-shot artist, etc. etc. is just sour grapes because he is not doing the same thing for your team.

topbananas Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 the fact he is captain in LA sums up that club....he is a horrible, bottle-less, cheap shot little runt who unfortunately will never get what he deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
