HockeyGoalieEh: (C-) Hockey players generally have a penchant for biting their tongues, often offering up cliches and towing the team line rather than offering anything of substance and in many cases that’s to their detriment. In some cases, that’s also to the detriment of the team. Such was the case for T.J. Brodie this year.
Brodie is a left handed defenseman who prefers to play on the right hand side, yet despite this he played on the left and was stuck with some of the worst talent in the league for a second pairing. As a result his numbers at even strength were pretty abhorrent, but it was more of an example of the Flames failing Brodie more than Brodie failing the Flames.
