Copper and Blue’s title of their latest piece says it all – ‘Jack Johnson is Not Good.’
Some interesting quotes… this is from Kings GM Dean Lombardi from back in early 2010:
"Jack was a thoroughbred out there. But he was all over the place. He was awful as a hockey player. As an athlete, you’re going, wow! Look at the way he skates, shoots, he can pass. But he had no idea where he was going. At times, he was playing forward at Michigan. You had no idea what position he was playing. But he had always been the star and he always got his numbers. Then he turns pro and for the first time, we’re telling him ‘whoa, just make the first pass and learn to play in your own end.’ How about making a read in your own end about the right guy to pick up? He was awful."
“So there you have it. Jack Johnson has some power play ability and a big reputation. He's a black hole who drags down his teammates at even strength.”
