I think you are being a little over sensitive, that's all.

[Kershaw]

Subban easily.

[Turrican]

Kershaw. The consistent voice of reason.

[Viking Mode]

EJ easily.

[Ivan13]

Anyone saying AINEC, easily and rubish like that is either:

a) a massive homer

b) a total ignoramus

And as someone how saw them both play quite a lot, I think EJ is the better player of the two.

[Sasso09]

Subban. Without hesitation

[SpezDispenser]

I dislike both players. Who do I choose?????

I never bashed Johnson. I've said time and time again he's a very good young defeseman and a solid 2nd pairing guy with room to improve. Saying he isn't as good as Subban or a #1 defenseman where there is no tangiable evidence to support sucha notion is not paramount to bashing.

No i didn't that all actually happened in refrence to the very thing i said it did. The point of the article was after struggling and having never been given defensive minuites upon coming back from injury he started to show the promise he was drafted for. However that promise was showing as a 2nd pairing defenseman given an offensive role. The ****ing conclusion is that he still has a long way to go in order to be a top defenseman.

"Johnson’s progression to top defenseman is far from complete, but he’s headed in the right direction once again."

He just got his confidence back apparently. 50 or so games does not make a career, and if it did congratulation you have a good 2nd pairing defenseman. Did you even read the article? What did i take out of context? The article refrenced everything i've been saying sheltered zonestarts, and middiling competition. How many graphs do you need?

[Ceremony]

Total homer vote for EJ. I know I wouldn't swap him for Subban though.

Underachiever so far, not bust.

You're an idiot when it comes to Av players anyways. Oh wait, I'm being a homer for saying EJ isn't a bust right? It's pathetic how you say **** and can't back it up and only agree with others say.

EJ is better. What a great player. The Avs are very lucky to have him.

Go back to your igloo Eskimo

I know this has been said before but this is Jonhson's year to show us if he is really the player he was supposed to be. If he has another mediocre to good year then perhaps I will except that EJ is not meant be a #1 guy. This upcoming season is huge for him and he ended last year very, very strong. He will start right where he left off.
