Hey guys. Any chance they go with DeSmith tomorrow night?
Hope not.

I read that as, 'the top 25 is cullen and those other guys' =PI didnt realize that Cullen is 22nd in games played all time. By the end of the season he should be 19th. Currently hes sandwiched between Modano, Housley and Gretzky, Brind'Amour. That is some next level company. Its pretty incredible hes played so long. That top 25 is filled with hall of famers and then theres Cullen.
Looks like Teddy and Wilson sit for Pearson and Simon.
But, Sully only likes grinders!?!

I don't get the Simon in, Blueger out thing. I don't recall Simon doing anything the last game that warranted playing ahead of a guy who has been more good than bad in his 10 game trial.
Simon definitely had more jump than he had before his scratch but still don't think there was much between them. I wonder if they're showcasing Simon in case they move him at the deadline, though personally I'd keep him given how cheap his contract is.
JR is right that Johnson has never gotten a chance from the fans from the beginning, but his play this year has been more in line with what fans have said than what JR thinks of Johnson. I think it's pretty clear that JR and Sullivan don't view Johnson to be a problem like fans do.
Pumping tires is JR's first step to trading guys....
Brb gonna go hide in the bomb shelter

Does JR actually explain why he thinks the fans are wrong to pile on Johnson (ie. does he actually bring forth compelling evidence that we're not seeing)? Or is it more along the lines of "fans are wrong because I said so?"
plain and simple, fan reception of a player or trade should not even be the GM’s mind. this is extremely upsetting and worrying, that jr isn’t interested in discussing the player’s stats and performance and instead what the fans have to say... fans who ultimately are right btw
Lmao how are we only 2 points behind the Caps right now. Lucky our division sucks.
He just said he has been fine this year. I think that rant was more so how hard fans and the media have been on Johnson ever since getting here than saying Johnson has been amazing.
Like I said in this thread and the other thread, I have problems with JR being satisfied with his play this year, but I agree with him that Johnson was never given a chance here by fans or media. The problem is that he has been closer to what the fans said about him than what JR said about him when he signed here.
The problem is Johnson hasn't really had a stretch of games where he's proven anyone wrong about him. It's not like the media (and some segment of the fanbase) being too hard on Murray after a rough start. That I can understand coming out in his defense, because Murray's actually proven those people wrong on multiple occasions. But Johnson's essentially been as bad as the "hate" said he'd be.
Our division sucks? The race for WC in the West is about what team can lose their way to #8.
