He's a good player for his role.

No it isn't. It's necessary.

Any (frank)ing sticktard with a pulse can learn to play the PK. Case in point: Marincin is actually one of the better PKers in the league statistically.

10 game ish ...

oh brother - another statistician who wants to wait for 13% of the season to be over before realizing you could try something different.

here's a rhetorical question - why do Coaches remove goalies sometimes in game?
do they wait for 13% of the season to go by before pulling them...

just wondering out loud

Johnsson is a 3rd liner. There, I said it.

In a good year that is.

Johnsson is a 3rd liner. There, I said it.

and I'd say a prototypical one, with the ability to step up when needed...

It's Sid Vicious ffs

Hey Red Wings dolts on here: did Babschlong ever mix up the lines in DET?

Looks like another night to avoid this place, less than a period in and the game is over, season is over and decade is over

Why do you think he wears 88?

(frank), finally: Moore is up with Tavares/Marner.

Pretty sure Babs just moved Moore up

Incorrect. If that was the case, all 31 teams would be tied for 1st in the league in PK.

- gravyface

if there are stats that support Marincin being good at anything - then its fair to say those stats are flawed

and if Marincin is all that on the PK why doesn't Babcock who LOVES Marincin not have him out there?

Absolutely he is. So is Kapanen.

Johnsson Kerfoot Kapanen should be the 3rd line. The argument that Johnsson is a top 6 player is flawed (in my opinion)

Rielly with a brainfart

Pretty sure Babs just moved Moore up
- senstroll

probably a mistake in line changes... isn't he supposed to wait until the 60 game mark to make changes?

lmfaooooooooo 🤣

what’s attendance like in beijing 🤣

queafs look like poop...AGAIN 🤦‍♂️

i feel bad for some of them because dubass didn’t trade greedy little biitch and melander for some adults when he had the chance🤦‍♂️

their looking to souperman for a spark🤦‍♂️

don’t worry, dubass will get a nice severance package 👍

then he can go back to managing NHL 20 full time 🤣 lmfaooooooooo

Absolutely he is. So is Kapanen.

So was Connor Brown on this Leafs team.
But he was cheaper than both and could actually kill penalties.
But of course Dubie thinks he knows better than rest of NHL.

Absolutely he is. So is Kapanen.

When you spend 10+ million on 1st line players, you can afford to have 3rd liners play with them and still put up top-six numbers. Penguins have done it for a decade with Crosby.

What's up with the schedule this season, Back to back today and tomorrow, back to back Monday and Tuesday (Oct. 21, 22) and another back to back the following Friday & Saturday (Oct. 25 & 26)? Four sets of back to backs in October alone!
- NewfieStud

Easy answer.

Sports is about money.

Americans don’t watch hockey in October.

=more games for Canadian teams in October.

Johnsson just doesn't have the attributes to fit in with Nylander/Matthews or Greedy Mitch/Snakes (in my opinion)

Absolutely he is. So is Kapanen.

Yeah because rookies never build on 20 goal seasons and near 50 points.
