Troy Brouwer:

"It was tough to lose his scoring ability, when he wanted to play," Brouwer said. "But all in all I think we've been doing well without him. ... Some nights you didn't even know if he was going to come to the rink. It's tough to play alongside guys like those because you don't know what you're going to get out of 'em."

Really Troy, you've been doing well without him? In what league are you doing well without him? I find it funny that Brouwer is calling out Semin for a lack of effort when Brouwer was called out for the same thing when he played in Chicago.

Tim Brent tweets to Brouwer:

"I can say on behalf of his teammates that we love having him here, and he has been a big part of our success so far with his consistent play and work ethic. NOT only his scoring ability. I hope he sticks it to them."

That a boy Timmy. I love seeing the team stick up for one another.

Buddy of mine was skeptical of Semin. I told him Semin just wasn't happy in Washington. It effected his play. Told him he'd show out and help us BIG time in our front 6, and he has. Brouwer is just pissed that his team sucks and they lost their only player worth a damn outside of AO. Sucks to suck.

I have to admit, I had my reservations about Semin, but he has been better than I remember him ever being in Washington. I know he has put up better #s in the past, but he has been, arguably, our best player this season.

The way he and EStaal push each other is amazing. I think some of Semin's aggressiveness is starting to rub off on El Capitan and we are finally getting to see the Staal we'd always hoped we'd see. There is a hunger in Eric this year like I have never seen before.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By frankw · Posted

      I feel like anyone within the Panthers fanbase no matter where they land on Bryce should agree on this. He's a good kid. He's intelligent. But ultimately is he going to ever be the guy to command a locker room? Obviously none of us can say. But I just don't get any alpha vibes from him whatsoever. Is that a dealbreaker? Not necessarily. Here's the thing though. We had the talk of his generational years ahead of his age leadership trait clubbed over our heads for weeks nonstop before the draft. But after seeing someone like Sam Darnold navigate life as a starting QB I think anyone here should be able to acknowledge homerism there are some similarities to Darnold in terms of personality. That is not what we were sold. All of this takes me back to before the draft. I just can't shake the sense that Stroud just rubbed Tepper or someone the wrong way. Was he too confident? Not subservient enough? Did they feel Bryce was more marketable and media savvy? My gut says these things weighed more into the pick than they should have. If not. Stroud more than likely would have been the selection. What's done is done though. I'm just like you though. I want to see some fire from Bryce at some point this season. But I'm expecting to be disappointed considering his first order of business following one of the worst rookie seasons ever was to detach completely and do nothing. As always. Hoping for the best. I feel like I have to put a disclaimer at the end of this post for the Bryce superfans. I want to see him do well. I don't want this to end in the worst case scenario. There now we can be friends!

      Every Big-Time Throw from Bryce Young and CJ Stroud in 2023

      By Basbear · Posted

      I felt the Cam vibes on the huddle with Bryce, in fact its almost there. Threads that have no mention of young, turn in them.  Only deal is Cam had tons more supporters/nut huggers.  I honestly hated talking Cam with 90% of the huddle, in many eyes he was perfectly accurate with all his throws and if he had a legit great game the true haters were missing in action.   Cam board is now a Bryce board...
