There’s no more denying Brouwer Power.

I wrote just over a month ago about the stellar play of Troy Brouwer and the Washington Capitals that began when I got a Brouwer Rangers t-shirt.  Things have only gotten better since then.

The shirt came in the mail on February 9.  The Caps have rolled off a 22-10 record (with Brouwer missing one game while sick), vaulting from one of the worst teams in the league to leading their division.

Brouwer?  He has scored 14 goals, including four game-winners, and now ranks 13th in the NHL in goals.  He has also notched 11 assists in those 31 games.  My brother Pat has the same shirt, and in all four games that either of us has attended while wearing it, Brouwer has scored and the Caps have won.

I think perhaps Ted Leonsis should make sure we’re in the building for the rest of the season.  It’s Brouwer Power, Ted.  Embrace it.
