Not impressed with his attitude. That Tweet after Dubinsky contract is the type of **** mature players stay away from.
I smell a player holdout on the way.

What tweet was that?

I know he's trying to be humourous, but it comes off as childish. He needs to let his agent work things out and stop publicizing his ongoing contract negotiations.

He had an amazing breakout year, following some really unsettling development years. He should follow the example set by so many before him and take a bridge contract and prove to the team he's the real deal.

That is a punk tweet. He may want to be careful when he next meets up with Dubi!

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

On the surface, not cool. I'm going to allow that, as they are teammates, there may be some context/inside joke that we are missing.

 

[Fro]

i found it to be just tongue in cheek...i didn't take any malice from it on the surface...I just found his use of "our" to be weird....

 

[SuperGenius]

some of you guys must've missed the tweets between Eddie Lack and Luongo.

Came across as him just dicking with Dubi like guys like to do. Jeez.

That's how I read it, too.

 

[WannabeFinn]

I can definitely see how from an outside perspective that Joey's tweet may seem a little punkish/douchey/whatever, but it really isn't much more than a teammate throwing a little chirp in with his congratulations

Neither one of these just said the organization, "slapped me the face" with a contract offer. To be fair.

I am so proud of myself. Since no one actually answered my plea for help as to what was tweeted, I was forced to invoke old mother necessity and I googled the link to see what all the fuss is about.

A small victory for an old guy.

And its obviously just Joey bustin' Dubi about being behind him in the pecking order. Boys will be boys. No attitude issues with that comment. If anything it shows Joey as a good locker room guy.

Don't take this from him, man.

I linked it to you right after you asked.

I'm not implying any malice between Johansen and Dubby, rather that its a clear dig at management that hes saying their second line centre gets paid that, and yet they're offering him a bridge contract. After the year Subban had, he ended up taking the bridge, Johansen shouldn't be any different. He was scratched in the AHL playoffs a year earlier wasn't he? He scored 33 goals sure, the same POINT total he had in his previous 107 games with the club spanning 2 years.

I just think its a sign of a bad attitude to call out your GM with that "slap in the face" comment (really? Slap in the face? Unless it was less than 2.5AAV/2 years, which I doubt, then calling it a slap in the face speaks of a big ego). Then the passive aggressive tweet reminding them who their top line centre is; its just not what I'd want from my players.

I already acknowledged that i figured it out and poked some fun at myself in the process. You should lighten up a bit and quit being so condescending. back at you.

back at you too

why do I have the feeling this snarky comeback of yours was encouraged by our 3rd-line Mod?


well done on figuring it out. My suggestion was as payback to you for being the guy who told me about Chrome incognito mode

Holy **** we are really really reading too much into this now. Like scary too much.

It's a congrats from a teammate to a teammate with a friendly jab at the end. It's all in good fun. Nowhere there does Joey say "I'm so much better than you." or "You're still behind me though." He said "To our 2nd line center ". Its all in good fun guys, jeez.

 

[EspenK]

Nah, I can get snarky all on my own. DSL has a sense of humor which I believe he was exhibiting in his reply to you. Anyway no harm, no foul, just boys being boys.

Wonder what Arty thought about that. Definitely a sign that Joey thinks Arty should be traded.

 

[Crede777]

Hopefully when Johansen signs Dubi responds with something equally joking to show that it was just two teammates ribbing each other.

You misunderstand. I don't think the dig was directed at Dubinsky at all. I think the congrats was sincere and directed to Dubinsky and the "2md line center" line was directed to management.

Anyone who has a problem with this has never played team sports. No issues with his comment at all. If you read some of the comments back to Joey on twitter, there is the problem. Fans can be idiots.

*attempt at apt meme*

You both included me in this when I clearly said there's probably more to it that we don't get. You both have just decided that there is.

Here's my take on your overreactions to what you perceive as overreactions:

It's generational. (Yeah MB's old, whatevs.) "Older" folks are happy to talk mock **** to someone's face but don;t act like posting something on the internet is the same thing. "Young" people often do.
