John Brown relies upon his most fiercest of determinations to power past opponents who may have more skill, size, or power on the ice. However, none of them have a more fierce set of internal beliefs than John Brown himself. When push comes to shove, John Brown digs deep down within himself and swells up with a conviction the likes of which has never been seen before. He truly beliefs everything he says and does with the fullest of convictions, giving him an edge over his opponents. No one else believes in John Brown's causes like he does, giving him amble time to out work and out effort his opponents. This often leaves them shocked and dismayed at getting so outplayed. But, this often results in John Brown screaming said convictions at the top of his lungs while on the ice, which also confuses most everyone. So, this can lead to confusion and dismay from the refs as well. Skill issue I guess.
