Confirmed with Link: Seth Jones traded for Ryan Johansen

[Flgatorguy87]

FYI Johansen hates the nickname RyJo. He prefers Joey. The girl who sits behind me calls him JoJo which is annoying as all get out.

I never use RyJo in conversation. Just can't do it with the Joey nickname.

Then call him Ryan? What wrong with that?

I understand what you say about Joey, for me RyJo is a nails on a chalkboard type thing.

Yeah i said RyJo until I saw that he prefers Joey. Now I only call him that.

 

[Adz]

I've heard the players refer to him as Joey.

I call him Johansen. "Ryan" is Ellis to me, though in a game I'd refer to him by his full name. Same with most of the players. My friend Bryan always laughs at that because my mom voice comes out. "JamesNeal...score a goal NOW"

Why the **** is there an article on the FRONT PAGE OF NHL.com titled "Johansen: 'I wish I was still a blue jacket'"??

This type of **** is why I hate journalism. They completely took a quote out of context to get click bait. I'll admit to have clicked on it to see if Joey hates Nashville. However if you actually read the article you'll understand the context and the point Joey was actually trying to make.

What's ridiculous is he quotes "I hope this doesn't get taken the wrong way..."
But it does get taken out of context and spun the wrong way. Now NHL.com is spreading rumors that "Johasen wants to be traded from Nashville"
Unbelievable. I'm going to sleep.

Yeah I just read that. Clickbait at best. Basically just saying he "wishes he was still in Columbus" because that would mean they were on track for a better season and things didn't fall apart from the get go. I'm sure in some ways Jones wishes he was still here too. I think Johansen has made it abundantly clear that he likes being in Nashville.

While I don't think it meant anything serious, it's that kind of ******** you have to know as a player is going to be used against you in the court of PR. It wasn't a smart thing to say and I think he is going to have to address it at some point.

 

[kypredsfan]

Click bait for sure. Have you seen him when the Preds win? The kid loves it with his new team.

 

[token grinder]

As long as we are winning, I don't care where he wishes he was playing.

Multiple Ryans and he wasn't the first. I'm also not on a first name basis with him.

 

[ThirdManIn]

I read that NHL.com article. The headline is terrible.

 

[SauceMyBiscuit]

So Joey shouldn't have said 'I wish I was still a Blue Jacket'. His agent needs to sit him down, show Joey that article, and explain why that was a bad idea.

Joey loves to play and loves to play for this team based on what I've seen and what his teammates have said.

This article pisses me off, because it really makes Joey look bad. Check out the picture used on the NHL.com front page. Johansen is creepily looking at the other centerman. Then click the article, and they posted a similar picture of him about to take a faceoff, but instead he looks pretty normal.

It's not like this article is a big deal. It's not like this is the first time a journalist has spun a story the wrong way with a catchy headline. However it's really annoying and deceptive.

On an unrelated note: everyone should watch the Colorado/Minnesota game!

 

[LCPreds]

Hah yah I can tell by the look on his face during games that he absolutely hates this team.

That's a good way as a reporter to never get any player to talk to you again.

It's why so many players just give canned vanilla answers. If a player is candid it can be manipulated.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Forget about Vancouver. Johansen going back to Columbus confirmed.

And thus is Kekalainen's diabolical master plan revealed!

No. Just no hon

 

[Top 6 Spaling]

RyJo wishes things had gone better with his old team so he could have stayed there, succeeded, not moved, etc. Totally fair to say. I don't think it means he's unhappy to be here. Complete non-story IMO.

 

[BigFatCat999]

Go to sportsclubstats and look at the season long chance to make playoffs. Note the Johansen trade was early Jan

 

[token grinder]

I don't have a problem with what Johansen said, and I think it is admirable that he said it. What kind of pro would he be if he had not wished CBJ played better and was in a playoff spot with him? Granted you have to read the article and not the headline, but there is nothing wrong with what he said.

 

[WartracePred]

I'm sure every player harbors a dream of taking whatever team drafted them to a Stanley Cup. That dream lasts right up until they're traded.

Just ask Vesey -- I know it's the wrong thread, but I had to

 

[torero]

It's why so many players just give canned vanilla answers. If a player is candid it can be manipulated.

I always liked the :"i blocked shots, it's fun !" ... they can t say the truth : "it's my job and i have no choice ! Coz it's very painfull".

(Before the olympic games, Josi was asked this on Swiss TV, and in regards of Weber and his rocket shot ... he said that, very regretfully he had no choice, but to try to block it")

Dealing with journalists is often painfull. And Johannsen obviously enjoys Nashville. And he definitely enjoys playing for a playoff participant. Probably, wanting to dodge the later point and hurting his previous fans, he ended up saying that he enjoyed playing for a team that was on the rise.

With journalists, you have to apply the same cautious stance than when you speak with a woman.allways measure the full extent of what you say and what it can mean with another mindset than yours.

Because, like with a woman, it is likely to go public.

This thread is still a thing? Should we start a Joey observation thread instead? Jones is gone.

This thread is still a thing? Should we start a Joey observation thread instead? Jones is gone.

Yeah, the title needs to be changed like 10 weeks ago from tomorrow.

 

[Viqsi]

This thread is still a thing? Should we start a Joey observation thread instead? Jones is gone.

It's just thread reuse. That's a good thing. Do we really need that many threads? We should be happy with the ones we have! Why must we insist on this profligate overuse of our message board resources? It's shameful! There are children starving in Africa for lack of sufficient discussion fora!
for the record I don't actually care that much
