Johnson had it fairly easy tonight, but makes me wonder what the week or so working with Burke has done for him. That was a very solid game both defensively and offensively.
Pretty sure we are all impressed with him thus far.
Where did he play tonight? Top lines?
I really think he's underrated.
On a line (3rd) with Moss and Gordon. Pretty effective checking line tonight. Generated plenty of chances. I think he sticks the rest of the year.
Fun fact: Coyotes have the 7th best offense, and are averaging 3.5 goals a game through 6.
Too many people named Johnson I am confused. /j
Anyone got attendance numbers from the game yet? It looked about the same size crowd as Wednesday night.

ESPN.com had it pegged at around 8500 if I remember correctly.

I am guessing they include tickets sold in the announced attendance whether the ticket holder shows up or not because I would have guessed the crowd at about 7000 again. The suites did look a little more occupied than last Wednesday but they didn't look half occupied more like a third occupied.
Rundblad I thought had a very solid game, I like him back there, he's like OEL in that he's calm with the puck and made a couple nice defensive plays.
That's classic - two guys named Johnson that weren't even on the team when the season started 10 days ago are the 1st and 3rd stars of the game... who's got the biggest Johnsons in the NHL?
