Default USA Today Q&A with Jack Johnson

It's a short yet interesting article with some good replies. For example, like this one:

Quote:
Has the transition to full-time NHL player been more challenging than you thought it would be?


Johnson: My role on the team is different from what I'm used to. I'm more a defensive player, a shutdown guy. I think it's just part of the learning curve. But it's certainly different for me. Instead of playing against guys in my age group, I'm playing against San Jose with Joe Thornton or Anaheim with Ryan Getzlaf. So it's been a good experience. I'm out there with Rob Blake, so it can't get much better.
Which would serve as an explanation to those fans grumblings about why he hasn't been producing as much on the offensive end. It makes sense to teach him to be responsible on both ends of the ice, but I imagine it must also be stifling and frustrating as well.

Anyhow, here's the link to the article.

I apologize ahead of time if this has already been linked for discussion.

Great article. Thank you!

What's the highlight of your season?

Johnson: Being able to sit in the locker room next to a Hall of Fame defenseman like Rob Blake. I grew up idolizing him.
So, yeah, maybe Blake wasn't such a bad choice for Captain after all.

Well, it seems to have worked for Patty O'S., so maybe...maybe!

Exactly.

It may be frustrating for a young player, but this is where maturity comes in.

The most impressive aspect about Jack's game this season is how disciplined he has been. Save from the late elbow against Philly, he has shown poise beyond his years, in my opinion.

[quote1063751]How is it playing in Southern California?

Johnson: The Staples Center is an unbelievable building and I really love walking out of the arena wearing shorts. [/quote]

Translation; it sucks, no one cares about hockey around here...
