why we should all love dustin brown...

A pictorial review...

(Note: The LA Times "share" functionality sucks almost as much as the Vancouver CaSucks [not that I'm complaining about the Canadian portion of that statement], so I had to borrow these photos to share here. All are from last night's awesome victory led by my fave player, The Captain, Dustin Brown, and our MVP (who better win the Vezina Trophy), "Baby Goalie" Jonathan Quick.)

He always seems to score goals in clutch situations:

He's scrappy:

He's a leader ... doing whatever it takes to pump the team (and crowd up) when most needed:

And, as any good leader does, he gives credit where credit is due:

Then if you need more reasons, read my post from last night.
