Apparently Jack Johnson beat the crap out of someone this past weekend and got suspended for Michigan's next game. Sounds good.
suspended do you know why. sounds a lot like norway. if you fight here you get a game misconduct. if you are stupid enough to throw your gloves (even if you dont fight) you get suspended for like 3-5 games.
What are you laughing at.
I don't like it either but that are the rules with college hockey and in Europe.

Was Jack Johnson ever advertised as having a mean streak?
not sure if you are being sarcastic but that is what drew in the Chelios comparisons. He is a nasty player.
"It was a hard hit on our goalie, and I know the nearest player would have done the same thing. I couldn’t tell you if it should have been a disqualification, but it was a serious hit on our goalie, and it was a serious retaliation. You've got to protect the goalie, and we ended up coming out on the short end of that."
The difference this time around is that Jack's beating was endorsed by Red himself How often do you see that from Red?
U-M goalie Billy Sauer was basically bowled over like a bowling pin by a Northeastern player and Jack happened to be the closest player to him. He got on him and the guy cowarded into the turtle position. Jack did what any player in the pros would do to protect their goalie, and sadly in the NCAA it gets you kicked out.
There are detractors out there looking for a flaw in Jack Johnson, and there are some who say that his "mean streak" is a problem. This is neither an example of a "mean streak" nor a flaw. This is what you'd want your guy to do, stick up for his teammate.
I'm ever so pleased.
Jack Johnson is such a big disappointment. I would not be surprised if he gets traded again before he signs to the NHL.
I think one thing that is killing JJ right now is when his temper comes up. I have no problem with him going after a guy for running his goalie. If however you are losing by a goal, you need that PP more than redemtion. I have not seen JJ show restrain in situations when he would be better off biting his tongue or just skating to the bench.
Why is he s dissapointment becuase he defended his goalie. I would do the same.
i think that Jack Johnson's a disappointment because he could have went to Carolina and won a Stanley Cup... but no! he didn't.
and for that matter, he's a prima donna... no wonder he got traded to Los Angeles where all the actors live.
I would not have traded him with Tverdovsky though.
besides, me thinking that he's a disappointment has nothing to do with what he did to Steve Downie at the WJC.

Unless you're a Carolina fan, you shouldn't be disappointed by his decision not to sign since it doesn't negatively affect you.
Does it disappoint you that he is remaining loyal to his team, honoring his commitment for this year, and trying to win a national championship with Michigan instead?
How does this make him a prima donna? Do you even know what a prima donna is? He has never sought extra attention. In fact, all he wanted was for Rutherford and Carolina to honor his decision and leave him alone for a full year. Wouldn't you be a bit annoyed if you told someone not to call until next year, and they called again mid-year? Rutherford made the whole thing into an issue, not Johnson.
Lastly, your comment about the city of Los Angeles is truly ignorant, perhaps even more ignorant than your comment about retaining Tverdovsky.
