Player Discussion Jack Johnson

[The New Russian Five]

Not sure I am allowed to post this, but this is hysterical:
Being a Positive To Jack Johnson's Net Negative, organized by Ryan Mead

[TominNC]

Seriously, we could have put ANY of our LD prospects there and they'd been less of a negative.

 

[ecemleafs]

what do his fancy stats look like so far this year?

 

[DanielBrassard]

I'm still wondering what the coaching staff and management think he does that Brendan Smith doesn't do.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

I'm guessing he gets one more game to not shit the bed. If he then proceeds to shit said bed, he gets benched for Smith.

DQ did bench Staal last year, don't forget. Same with Smith himself, whom he inherited as a big contract veteran.

 

[True Blue]

It is now my personal mission to come back here in 2-4 years and bump this thread to remind everyone of JJ.

He can take his shifts next to Jeff Toms, Eric Christenson, Brent Fedyk, Boris Mironov, etc.

 

[CasusBelli]

He should focus on his music. That’s what happens when you pursue two careers: you end up sucking at both.

-10.03 CF%rel
-9.58 FF%rel
-9.86 SF%rel
-70.00 GF%rel (lol you can't make this shit up)
-14.25 xGF%rel

So ya know, basically what we can expect from Jack Johnson which is being the worst defenseman in the NHL.

Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.

But, he brings other things!

JJ is when the eye test meets analytics perfectly.

Not sure where you’re getting the confidence to post this, but boy do I hope you’re right.

It’s a guess based on his performance so far, Quinn’s history with those other players, and the abbreviated season. I hope I’m right too!

 

[Inferno]

Staal is a much better player.

Frankly I'm a much better player...because I'd be benched and we'd roll 5 d.

At this point, Robertson, Reunanen, Hajek, and obviously Smith and Bitetto would be better options to try. Heck Schneider playing on his off side would be a better option.

Schneider on the left side with a plastic bladed left handed stick would be better. Or maybe just play shorthanded. Let Igor clear anything that comes in on the left side.

Ahem.

So, I missed by one game.

One game EARLY.

Cool, now wish a Strome benching into existence.

Hmm. Let's see how he does tonight, and if it's still terrible, then I'll make my call.

You guys are so blowing this out of proportion. JJ has not been nearly as bad as advertised. No, he’s managed to be a lot worse.

N’ stuff

Jack 'BOT' (brings other things) Johnson

what was ever the hype with jack johnson? he was picked 3rd, but hes not good defensively, never a good skating NHL dman, not overly skilled. a quick look at his stats before making the NHL and he was ridiculous undisciplined with the PIMs he racked up. what was ever the appeal with him?
