I think you'd be best to keep the focus of your prose towards analytics.
The grandiosity in skewering the guy is far away unnecessary and it comes across like you feel in some way minimized by other 'journalists'. We get it - he has under performed. Know what? It's a team sport. One that you probably never played.
The entire team needs to pick it up. It's easy to blame Jack Johnson but the rest of the d core is not helping much. Then let's look at the forwards. It's not like Malkin is doing a whole lot out there. From what I have seen so far the hardest workers are on the 4th line. and not playing much. Right now most of the team looks like they have no interest in being out there. Matt Murray seems to be holding his own but I still think jarry should be in net. So let's not blame everything on Johnson because the whole team can pick it up another level or 2
I think something stinks in pittsburgh. There's a love fest going on between Johnson, Sullivan and Murray. No way you sit an Allstar goalie for Mr Glass (Murray) unless there's a manag-a-trois going on. I'm betting that after Wednesday's preformances that the Murray- Sullivan bro-mance continues. Sullivan needs to go. He's now suffering from Dan Bylsma disease not seeing the forest for the trees.
Holy shit dude your an idiot.... Watch a game yet at all? if your going to write an article about Jack you better write about the entire D core. And you should have wrote an entire article on Letang he's been worst than Jack, offering infinity free biscuits every shift can't make a simple pass and that's their most experienced D man. None of the guys can make a simple pass out of the zone of each of the first three games. You should be a healthy scratch for writing and singling out one guy when all 6 have been terrible
@ Adrock- Dude you are clueless. Letang has good offensive skills and sometimes makes bad turnovers, but is a net positive. I guess math - basic stats, percentages, etc. are too complex for you. JJ is BAD, is that easier for you to understand? Maybe you are a family member posing as a fan to defend him?
Dude this article is current and if you've watched the three games so far Letang has 3 turnovers per shift and can't seem to catch up to the quick start. You must be a die hard Letang lover..... And I don't think he's been great and their worst d man for sure in the regular season but so far in playoffs he's made better choices than Letang. Letang has been absolutely garbage not moving his feet at all behind him and playing each shift like it's summer shinny in MTL. You are clueless if you have watched the last three games or just have major tunnel vision for your hard on for him. You make no sense to the argument of the NHL playoffs back to play you tool lol.
"3 turnovers per shift". 😂. Let's see that stat. Oh right. It isn't one. It's a knee-jerk anecdote because you let your fingers talk before thinking and refuse to walk it back. You've clearly never played and are a new fan. Jack Johnson is horrible. You can hear it when LISTENING to the games because every time there's a goal or, near miss....guess who's on the ice. Being on the ice for 70% of the goals against is the only stat you need.
And if by chance you're some old school yinzer that wandered over here from Steelers country, go back. We have enough clueless, embarrassing fans that blame everything on Matt Murray. 🖕
LMFAO I played junior hockey and now I play roller hockey at the pro level ... You guys are fucked lol clearly all Americans, who are still learning the game. I'm Canadian and clearly I'm talking to clueless fucking stupid dip shits

appreciate the comment. I'm writing here as a frustrated Penguins fan and not as a "journalist." And I have played.
Mike Sullivan is doing what he thinks is best. I see your point, they should have never lost that game.
This article is 100, and there's no factual opposition to it. Only ad hominem and "trust gmjr" sentimentality.
Johnson is an anchor and hes killed 2 potentially great seasons.
Jeez dude cut them some slack idk a person who’d wanna post something about a player this bad is barf just thinking about it

As a member of the Canadian community we don’t claim this dumbass

roller hockey isn't a sport you dork
😂😂😂 👌 "I'm Canadian"
*Jack as the worst d man in regular season I was referring to, but Tanger for the rest of everything else
JJ sucks....period end of story. What he sucks to stay in lineup is the question.
Listen to bladee
#8 has played as bad as anyone and nothing said
Dumo is +/- 0. The series is even in goals for /against. Not sure what you're basing your statement on.
