Not true... there are steps to the owners boxes.

[MRandall25]

At least we're playing Ottawa

[sully44]

Ugh, no Staal and Crosby and Johnson is playing. Not a good sign.

[MRandall25]

Ugh, no Staal and Crosby and Johnson is playing. Not a good sign.

Johnson's bad play is directly correlated with defensive lapses. He's not a bad goalie.

eh... i like johnson, and i'm the first one to deflect blame from goalies... but johnson's been pretty bad this year

[Kaizer]

Agreed. He hasn't played up to the level he was playing at last year.

[npv708]

At least the NHL.com blog has a decent replacement for Jordan Staal...

I hope Tangradi gets a look with Malkin tonight- i hate when he gets called up for 6 minutes of playing time on the 4th line

[jprolley]
