Anaheim is full of agitators. You need to not get sucked into the yapping Keeler, Bieksa, and the like can get into.

I was kinda hoping to see a fight tonight since the Ducks have some willing customers for him. Too bad !

I'd rather they play Matteau than Brown, let's see what the kid can do. Brown is a known, borderline useless commodity. Plus they only picked him up because we needed a body for the SJ game after the DSP trade.

More than that, IMO. They had Lessio in case.
Btw, he should be down to AHL. He needs to play, but I don't a NHLer in him.

Just keep hitting and skating and dont take stupid penalties... probably too much to ask for him though.
Is this one of the main reason why the Habs won last night? If so what would happen we bring up John Scott?

He's been better than I expected, mind you I didn't really expect much from him. He reminds me of Brad Staubitz. Someone who is a boarderline NHLer but can hit and fight. Like Staubitz, Brown likely won't be back next season.

First time in his career of over 400 NHL games that he was named first star of a match. Also his first ever multi point game! Congrats Mike!
Second multi points game.

His fighting style kind of sucks, but he is aggressive and throws a ton of hits while never backing down. He's exactly what you need on the fourth line to give this soft team some much needed jam. I wasn't a fan of the pick up originally but I appreciate what he brings to the table.

The one thing that Brown (And Big Mac) have illustrated in the last few weeks of the season is that it was a big mistake to start with such a soft bottom 6 .When things started going south after Christmas we really lacked those guys that can give the team some momentum and confidence. I hope we don't take the same approach next year and make sure we have at least some sandpaper on the lineup. A Byron-Mitchell-Flynn ''energy line'' just won't cut it.

Too bad he didn't fight Bieksa for the Geordie Howe Hatrick

Will be interesting to see what management does this summer, maybe we have a 4th line of Lessio Mitchell Brown/Matteau. If Mitchell gets hurt they could call up McCarron to fill his spot. Maybe Flynn goes to the AHL, Byron to the 3rd line.
Yeah, a 13th skater I would be down with. He has enough talent to not only have to goon it up, but he's no sniper so he'd better play within his talents and role which is to bring energy, agitate and drop the gloves when needed. I do like he's been disciplined enough to not take stupid penalties days on end which was what I was worried about.
I also think he'd be a good mentor for a guy like McCarron. He won't be teaching him how to score by any means, but maybe take the pressure off him so that McCarron doesn't have to be the one to fight all the time.
I got all caught up in all the Scott drama like everyone else, but Brown brings a lot more to the table that Scott.
I agree 100% with this and that is why I would re-sign Brown and have him on the 4th line with Mitchell, and Matteau who's another physical player.
Furthermore, I would hope Byron re-signing would mean the end of Flynn, as both are soft 4th liners and we have an overload of pluggers.
Finally, McCarron, just like Brown, has brought some much needed jam to our line-up and with a good camp should no doubt stay on the team next year. He can play anywhere in our top-9 and provide a lot of energy, physicality to go along with some nice skills. A 3rd line of Danault-Eller-McCarron doesn't look bad, plus all 3 can take face-offs.
The need for a Brown type is evident. We've sorely missed the fearless guy who can make his mates comfortable by having their backs. We often talk about players who automatically make those around them better Prust was one and so is Brown. It can't be overlooked. McCarron also has that effect but we need to teach him how to take advantage of those 6' 6" headlocks and face washes instead of dropping them.

If not Brown, we definitely need a similar guy on the lineup to start next year. Matt Martin comes to mind.

I mean Martin puts up Mike Brown's career point totals every season. He's one of the if not the best fourth line winger in the league.

Every year we get a new scrub who seems almost not terrible, then MB signs him to an extension and he becomes unbearable. Mitchell, Flynn, Byron, Wiese to an extent, Brown, rinse repeat.
If Brown is on the Habs next season, he'll be waived at some point.

He'd get my vote for sure. That Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck combo is probably the best energy line in the whole league.
