Dude he was getting 20 minutes a night in Pittsburgh.he won't play tho it's okay lol
I care because I want to win games and get to the playoffs. I know NHL coaches can't help themselves with these worthless do nothing players but there is such an obvious better choice that he's blocking. This is worse than Glass. Worse than McLeod. An easy an obviously better choice is right thereDude he was getting 20 minutes a night in Pittsburgh.
Is the 14 minutes he got tonight too much? Yes. Is 1 minute too much? Yes.
The NHL is still an old boys club. GMs and coaches have their pets and they’re always awful hockey players. I have no idea why but that’s just how it is.
Jack Johnson is one of the worst players I’ve ever seen actually playing in an NHL game. But people will barely remember him playing for us 2, 3, 4 years from now. His play will surely cost the team a couple games but it’s just a blip in the grand scheme of things.
Brendan Smith? Yeah I’d love that obviously but even then replacing Johnson with Smith the Rangers gain what, half a win over the season? That could cost them a playoff spot if it comes down to the wire, but if one player getting 14:00 per night costs a team a playoff spot I don’t really think that team deserves a playoff spot anyway.I care because I want to win games and get to the playoffs.

Depends on the furniture.Man, I was hoping he'd play heavily sheltered minutes and just kind of blend in with the furniture. He really f***ing sucks though.
I don’t think he has been bad at all. I mean all things considering, he’s actually worse than I have given him credit for.Johnson is absolutely done as an NHL player.
They have given him enough of a look. Play Smith.I don’t think he has been bad at all. I mean all things considering, he’s actually worse than I have given him credit for.
In all seriousness, we know that he was signed on Martin’s recommendation. Comfort with player, knowledge of system, yada, yada, yada. Quinn is going FTI do his new assistant head coach justice. JJ is going to be given a look, but his leash is not infinite.
He is horribly putrid to watch. He can't string pass up the middle of his life depended on it. It's always along the boards.I dont think hes that bad the drama queens here are making it more than it needs to be. But Smith should 1000% be playing over him.
i just love the idea that the Rangers (or any team for that matter) would sign a player that’s not a career AHLer they have absolutely no intention of using. it’s insanity. they signed him cause they like him and want to use him.I don’t understand how anyone thought he wasn’t going to get significant ice time. We. do. this. year. after year. after year.
Yeah. It can get hyperbolic here. Has he been as bad as Staal? Seriously, no. The latter couldn't even move the puck out of our zone. But Johnson has been the direct cause of a couple of goals, and he hasn't contributed anything positive.I dont think hes that bad the drama queens here are making it more than it needs to be. But Smith should 1000% be playing over him.
It is now my personal mission to come back here in 2-4 years and bump this thread to remind everyone of JJ.Jack Johnson is one of the worst players I’ve ever seen actually playing in an NHL game. But people will barely remember him playing for us 2, 3, 4 years from now. His play will surely cost the team a couple games but it’s just a blip in the grand scheme of things.
