Mark the QB was his cousin I believe.

Watching Debrusk the last few games, seems he has more to give. Thought he would play a more truculent game ... but he's actually pretty passive.

Let’s be perfectly honest, the whole league is soft, there’s very few heavy physical teams anymore. The Rangers, Kings, Knights and Panthers are probably it. Boston used to be but they’re on a steep decline.

The Canucks were 4th in the league in hits last year, they are sitting 7th this year. One of their main calling cards last year was how physical they played. Outdated narrative

Been so-so so far but it's a long season.

DeBrusk has never been known as a physical, nor consistent player, not sure why some think that would change in Vancouver.
