Vezio was the first example I thought of when I saw Brandt.
An old-school "rink rat" type of player.
I'm looking forward to watching him for the rest of the season.
You're absolutely right. I think that so many people have missed that sort of tenacity that it's natural to over react. Tonight will be a good test though, as will the first time in front of a crowd. I'm honestly not sure what he'll make of it, particularly if (hopefully) the twix bars start flying.

Have you seen Devils social media? It's all about Brandt smashing people. "calming down a little"... that horse has left the stable now.
It's good to get carried away. I really don't see what the problem is. If he turns out to be a massive flop, it's ok, I've had a riot watching his hits from the last game. It's that bit of excitement I was missing in this team. I saw it for five mins in McNally when he joined and then nothing from the team since. I'm going to enjoy this for as long as it lasts.
He reminds me of Lawless, for two reasons, one the way he skates and two, their both missing a row of front upper teeth. That’s the sign of a no shits given hockey player........

How is it an Ignorant comparison..... Was Vezio not a slighter player in the team who had the capability of getting under the opposition skins, lifting the spirit of a game and also getting the fans going with his temperament? That is all I was making reference to when I said he is a bit like a vez player who hits hard. Fail to see the ignorance there.
Think he is edgy enough to have a crack himself if he is set upon. Not saying he would have the win but I think he would stand and have a go if pushed. I would however prefer it to be Louis or Batch mind but who knows.
Surprised the name Hervato hasn't been raised much tbh. For me, he has the best elements of Steve Carpenter. He plays like a clean Slater, not that there ever was such a thing.
Think the thing is Hervato was only here for 1 season, so when you think about comparisons he is one that doesn’t necessarily flow off the tongue, even now he isn’t one that I would necessarily think of.
