L’entraîneur-chef du #CBJ, Pascal Vincent, a confirmé que Kent Johnson était un patineur supplémentaire aujourd’hui et qu’il a eu un excellent entraînement. « Je ne suis toujours pas sûr qu’il ne jouera pas (jeudi) », a déclaré Vincent, mais il ne peut habiller qu’un nombre limité de gars. Un domaine potentiel d’amélioration ? Rythme du jeu de KJ en ce moment. Mais « il va être un grand joueur. Un seul match ne définira pas sa carrière ». https://x.com/jacketsinsider/status/1711792098280624270?s=46&t=BngDkvBSvPliAH61G3kEzg

Huge mistake not to dress KJ….way too talented…
Is bro trying to get out of here quicker than Babcock or something?
I would rather play Johnson than Danforth or Bemstrom.
What the fuck are we doing
What the fuck
I completely understand from the coaches perspective. Remember we don’t see a lot of the training and off screentime. While as fans this seems like a crazy thing to do, there might be a legit reason why.
Makes sense. Not something fans won’t like but it’s a good reminder for him that he needs to kill his habits of slowing the game
This might say more about Jarmo than anything else. Kent Johnson being drafted at 5 overall a few years ago and not making the opening night lineup on a team with no expectations is a really bad look
Is Sillinger in the opening lineup?
My optimism for him as a coach will go right out the window if he benches the 50+ point rookie season forward over Bemstrom or Danforth.
Bemstrom earn his start in preseason, KJ has some work to work on with speeding up his game. It is what it is.
Well at least no one on social media will think they know how to better run a hockey team than our own coaching staff
Dudes, relax. Worst case, he sits him for a game in hopes of motivating him to step up his game. Being a healthy scratch isn’t an indictment on his career prospects.
Lots of zany overreactions in here. Oof.
