Jack Johnson’s postgame thoughts…
(on the shootout…)
JOHNSON: “It makes it a lot harder, no question. I think the whole point of getting a point in overtime is to make it a little more wide open and take chances. I think that was the whole point of why it was put in place, to go for the win and not sit back in overtime, but three point games make it tough to catch teams (in the standings).”
(on the four-minute penalty kill…)
JOHNSON: “It was everything. It was the game. That was the difference between pretty much getting into overtime and getting a point, or zero points. Four minutes is a long time to kill (against) the San Jose Sharks. They have a lot of world-class players over there, so it was a great penalty kill. It definitely gives you some confidence and gives you a chance to get a point. You get a point out of the game. If they score there, it’s going to make it pretty tough on us to get a goal with only a couple of minutes left in the hockey game.”
JJ’s game has really gone up along with his salary, let’s get DD his money quick!

@happylappy, Yeah, somehow, his defensive play has really improved since about then.

@What’s the frequency, Kenneth?, From everything I can see and from what I hear…JJ is just an upstanding character guy who really does want to be the best he can. Unlike selfish players the like of Kovalchuk, who are most interested in their own paycheck, even if it cripples the rest of the team. JJ…money well spent!

@Dominick, So far off base on this I don’t even know where to begin.
Kopitar, hits the post, had the goaltender beat.
Johnson hits the post, had the goaltender beat.
Brown had the goaltender beat, and didn’t lift the puck.
Stoll just buried it.
Quick meanwhile dominated 3 of the four shots he faced and 1 simply rolled off Corture’s stick.
So, what needs to be worked on?

in regards to Johnson’s shootout answer,
All games should be three points or two points, not some 3 and some 2. Come on NHL make a regulation win worth 3 points already.

@broncokings, You can’t really put the MF back yet. He was a Minus Five so you could use the MF, but now he’s a Minus Seven. When he gets back to Minus Fifteen like last year, he will be the MF we all know.
