Its happening, Kongs are going down the toilet. They will lose in the playoffs this year.
who /5thline/ here?
Tortorella
Seen the best from Ryan Johansen? "No, no, no. Joey gave us some good minutes the other night. I’ve been honest about it. I think he’s been inconsistent. Joey’s 23 years old. I know he’s been in the league for a number of years here, I think this is his fifth. He’s got a ton to learn. This shouldn’t be, it’s not a negative connotation on [Johansen] at all, and we’re going to teach him. And that’s what we’re trying to do. We make our call during the games no matter who it is, where they fit those minutes as far as that particular game. We thought Joey was going pretty well last game, so he got more minutes than prior games. That’s an open book as we start the game. For Joey, I think he has a ton to learn. The greatest thing about him is just his ability. He has more ability than a lot of players in the league. It’s trying to get him to get there all the time--to use that ability. And that’s a process. That’s a maturity level. And he hasn’t totally matured yet. The onus falls on us to try to get that out of him."
Does he understand that/relationship with you? "Yeah, I think he does. I think a lot of people around us, Joey and I, want to turn it into that, and listen, I make my bed with some of that stuff as far as the reputation I have, but you guys really don’t know what goes on in that room. Everybody makes these, you throw it against the wall and that’s what’s happening, and you shouldn’t. you shouldn’t know what’s going on in that room, so I don’t blame you. What I do have problems with is you just throw these thoughts out there and say that’s what’s going on when you really don’t know. But that’s your job (smiling), and it’s our job to handle it. And quite honestly, I like the kid. I think certain days we have great progression, some days it’s a step backwards. He’s …23…years old. The greatest part is there’s a ton there, and we’re going to try to get it out of him."

only so many times you can watch a team get 40 shots on goal and not score anything. Its going to suck seeing Seth Jones because an elite defense only to see Johansen not amount to anything because he doesnt care or has already peaked.

yeah but Johansen must at least be happy to get out of a shitty situation with his coach on a bad team to a pretty decent team. And Nashville is more in win-now mode.
No one really WANTS to play in Lumbus and Jones will be in huge demand after a year. Seems like a pretty big risk for a team that is clearly rebuilding.

Then you would know that Hongcouver is a shit team that will NEVER EVER win a cup. Adding Tortelini was a vast improvement, he was the closest Vancouver has coming to touching a cup.
