To borrow a phrase from Washington area radio personality Rick Doc Walker, Dustin Brown of the Los Angeles Kings is a Cyborg.
I'm watching tonight's Kings-Rangers game on Yahoo via the MSG feed. And it's never bad to hear Sam Rosen call a game. Anyway, in the third period with the game tied at 2, Brown has a tremendous shift a few minutes into the period, causing havoc, getting to the net, and almost giving Los Angeles the lead.
At the end of his shift, which lasted well over a minute, he went to the bench for his rest.
Yeah ... 22 seconds later, he was back on the ice for another 1:01.
Later, he was charging up the boards, taking the puck away from the Rangers and generating shots - notching 6 attempts at goal by the midway mark of the third period.
Between Brown and defenseman Drew Doughty, the Kings have two ice-time hogs that play the game hard and well and whom most teams would kill to have in their lineup.
What the Kings don't have is a finisher or two to get wins instead of losses and overtime losses at this point.
It will be interesting to me to see if the Kings keep building on these cornerstones - but watching Brown play is something else.

Brown is a player who hits, shoots, scores, makes plays, plays solid, plays consistent, leads by example and rallies the troops. He is relentless. He can weather the storm because he is a storm. A storm of awesome. Cyborg is an understatement. Brown is a living legend, and he's only 24 years old. He's a great team player and a perfect captain for the Kings. Now if they could only win these games that they play so well in...
