Playing career

Brown was drafted 67th overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft. His best statistical NHL season was the 1988-89 season, when he played on a line with Mario Lemieux; he set career highs with 49 goals, 66 assists, 115 points, 24 power play goals, 6 game-winning goals, and a +27 plus/minus rating. Currently, Brown serves as colour commentator for the Edmonton Oilers pay-per-view, and as an analyst for 630 CHED for Edmonton Oilers games. Rob Brown holds the Western Hockey League single-season records for assists and points with 136 and 212 respectively, both set in the 1986/87 season.

A fight between Brown and Sylvain Lefebvre triggered a famous catchphrase in Toronto Maple Leaf history by announcer Joe Bowen, "Down goes Brown", which was later used to name a prominent blog by a Leafs fan.
