I agree that is probably his ceiling

When do we end this Chad Johnson experiment? He is not the same as a few years ago.

Yeah, I'd hope with some continuity throughout this year that ceiling could go up a bit, we could REALLY use a steal on the D side, but I think if he's your third pair, you have a decent D.

Still tough to watch him... can't quite get my arms around it yet.

Our defense and goaltending could not get worse

I don't know if that one was on the D, they took away the pass.

Uh oh gotta score 3 to win.

Gorges is so gritty as he gets his face caved in with shots and chances against

Wow, that didn't go in but not from lack of effort by Johnson.

harringotn praised how odd man rushes against go away while he's on the ice

.. tough to give up an odd man rush when you never leave your zone. next level defending by gorges.

I've been holding faith with Lehner, hoping that with an improved defense he'd really shine. But, I'm really starting to lose faith in him, he seems too slow for the NHL, not mobile in the crease at all. Solid backup, but as a #1 I'm starting to hope we move on from him.

I don’t know what end of the idiot/genius spectrum this falls on, but it’s wonderful either way.

I still feel that unless you have the man in net

play 1 goalie 45-50 games
play the other 35 to 40 games


only way for this to work is to call up ullmark

this is the year we win the lottery guys
