After last nights fight with Faber, he deserves it.






Good signing, keep the Ducks tough!

Good Energy, Solid PK. Willing Scrapper.

I dont see why not lock him up.

They'd be stupid not to. Carlyle really found the perfect role for him on the PK and the crash and bang line.

Good to see Brown getting new contract. He fits in their style of play.
He can kill penalties and is great energy guy, although most of his fights are boring.
