Player recap--Brock Sutherland

Know we these are hard to write? I mean, besides the fact it's almost July? Because the freshest in my mind is the playoffs. And Brock was abysmal during the playoffs. The most frustrating part is, of course, that I know he can play better. I saw him do it all during regular season. I just don't know what happened.

Suds played 52 regular season games. With 8 D-men on the roster, he did some sitting in the stands, rotating with McIntosh and/or Dow. And he played well. Well enough to earn himself a permanent spot on the blueline. When he was sucking in the playoffs, the others had been sitting too long for them to come in in replacement and be effective.

Brock has the size and skill to be an excellent defenseman. I would like to see it on a consistent basis, including into a deep playoff run. He'll be looked to for veteran leadership for the D corps this upcoming season and he needs to lead by example as well. And I don't mean by wearing the most outrageous holiday sweater at the Christmas party, though doing so isn't a bad idea.

As for Brock's Look-Alike, he's an interesting looking fella, so I plugged him into My Heritage to see what they could come up with. Here's what we got:

hrm. Not sure he really looks like any of them, but whatever. Recaps done. I'm going to LA for the NHL Entry Draft.  Not sure how much computer time I'll have, so hopefully nothing too exciting happens around here.
