Anyone that has watched Jack Johnson for years knows he is terrible. There is no defending him.

Ah, the good old moving of goalposts. I got called out for sarky remarks and now I'll change the narrative. Never gets old.

I'm old enough to remember Jack Johnson getting dunked on for 15 seasons versus having one decent game against the Blackhawks.
Meh , he cracked one of the best teams opening night rosters , delivered a goal and solid play and was a plus player. JJ might make you look silly
Again, we are supposed to believe you while you laugh off others? The irony is delicious.

My goal is not to get you. I just find it hilarious one can be so condescending in his postings and then turn around and do the same he is ridiculing others for.
Jack Johnson has been playing for 15+ years; he isn't going to sneak up on anyone and make people look silly over the course of a SEASON. There's a reason he needed a PTO. Sad Kings fans like me used to watch his workout videos and say man this guy is going to dominate the league! He will disappoint with his lack of hockey sense.
I remember when Joe Colborne had a hat trick in his very first game with the Avs after earning a contract. Then he went on to score 1 goal the rest of the season/his career.
I'm happy JJ had a good night. I'm going to continue to expect the worst and hope for the best. There are 5 fairly decent or better defenders to help him out right now. We just need him to not actively lose us games.

He's also our 7/8D when everyone is healthy, which makes it really hard for him to disappoint. So, all the doom and gloom about him making the roster seems overblown.
Ya it's quite funny. Pittsburgh was icing him for 19 minutes a game, and the Rangers when he played he still got 17 minutes. If he starts playing like crap, he'll be getting the 'I have to play this scrub' treatment from Bednar of under 10 minutes a game (if he even gets icetime), since Girard, Toews, Byram and Makar all deserve 20 min+ of icetime, along with still having EJ and Murray around as well.

C'mon, how often is that gonna happen? You know JJ is gonna play 70 games this season.

Yeah not a fair comparison as this is moreso all the Avs fans having a laugh that JJ pulled off a goal like that. He looked really good last night, but the fan base is WELL aware that’s not the player they’re getting. Or at the very least they’re not honestly expecting it.

Not a chance. 25 games max. Any more than that, and he'll end up injured too.
Haha, I understand your point however he was decent even bordering on good last night. What's a decent season for him in Colorado? 3 goals , 15 points and a plus player ?

That would be more than JJ has scored since 2016-17, and I doubt he'll play in enough games to even come close. Assuming he only plays in maybe 20 games, I'd be happy if he can chip in 3 or 4 assists to go with his goal from last night.
I think he will play more than that and probably going to surprise you a bit. I can see 3 goals and a dozen assists in 40 to 60 games .

With the Avs injury issues over the last few years, you might be right that he'll play that much. But, my expectation is that guys will stay healthy enough to keep him out of the lineup for most of the season. I also think Barron looked good in the preseason and will end up getting ice time later in the season, further limiting JJ's opportunities.
Advance stats don’t match up with the eye test. Keith and Jones were supposedly replacement level on jfresh hockey charts. Not their fault the wingers suck at D on their teams. Watched their opening games and they looked pretty good to me.
Quite possibe. Iam still pulling for a decent season from JJ, even jokingly predicted JJ would score the cup winning goal for the avs this season...
I was wondering why there was all this talk for a #7 defenseman but then realized he’s on pace for an 82 goal season. Crazy impressive.

I don't mind him playing but ideally he isn't overplaying. The pens played him 19+mins a night due to injuries. If we have only 1 injury at a time, JJ is perfectly fine as a number 5-6. If we have 2 or 3 injuries and JJ plays as number 4, that's when we're in trouble.
For $750k on a one year deal. Jack Johnson is good value as the 7th D man on the roster. He gave the Avs a good game as the number 6 in a limited role. Did a lot of PK work and puts his body in front of shots. Moves guys in front of the net with lite cross checks. Not too difficult a task for someone of his experience. The effort to do the role is there.
But go watch his goal and see Tyler Johnson. It’s embarrassing. T Johnson is going to be a disaster for Chicago. He’s already barely trying two shifts into his tenure on that team. He wasn’t any good to begin with.
Ask yourself why Jack Johnson had an uncontested breakaway. Seems odd for a defender that’s so slow. I give you the grotesquely overpaid Tyler Johnson paving the way.

Get ready for baffling decisions with the puck. He always does the opposite of what he should when the puck is on his stick. Plays die with him over and over and over. I've never seen a player who more of a cluster f*** and I mean that. Jack Johnson is UNBAREABLY bad.
