B1GKappa97 Verified Member Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 (edited) LOL how you gonna post this article after the game he just had? That second line is looking good with Johansson just needing to get the zone entry (which he does) and then letting Hartman get the puck back off the boards when he inevitably loses it. When he has an open lane, he's getting some good shots off. He does pass out of them sometimes but.. that's everyone on this team tbh. But really he's just a placeholder. They'll upgrade on him at some point either this year or next. Edited November 23 by B1GKappa97 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezig Verified Member Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 The headline to this story could be the headline everyday on this site. I think NoJo is a talented player with no drive or motivation to improve. You hear about the great ones being the first one in and last one out for practice. I have a sense that NoJo does it the other way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatoneguy Verified Member Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 I don't understand the front office on this team. They refuse to move nojo down the line no matter how little he does, but they want to trade a young assending player that skipped his sisters wedding to get better, and has gotten better every year. Must be part of that 5 year plan... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Last season we watched as Johansson was not engaged, went for cardio shifts and thought everyone on the ice had Covid so he needed to stay away. He did flybys and put in a very low effort + he didn't get points. Hynes' reaction to some of his shifts was priceless. This season, my eye test says that Heinzy has gotten to him. I see a player skating harder, finishing checks, bringing pucks into the zone, shooting more and putting in a far better effort. Now, I'd keep him on a short leash, but at least the guy is trying. Also, notice how Midsy has shaved the full beard? Perhaps Johansson needs to do that Dec. 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a guy who gloriously brings the puck into the zone and is utilizes speed to navigate beautifully around one defender and then as he is forced to the wall he is out played and loses the puck 9/10 times. I did see a more deliberate effort the first 5 games or so and occasionally he surprises me with an out of character physical play lately, but it isn't even close to being on par. He really is worthless if he doesn't have space, and when he does have space he isn't really all that effective either. In all the years he has played on this team, he has about a 2 month span where he actually played well, and this span happens to coincide with his expiring contract. We then signed him and let Nyquist walk. Is that FO mistake the cause of this absurd denial we see? How many attempts to rectify it can we attempt before it looks obsessive? I say cut your losses already. Give his spot to Hartman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I think they are on the same line. But, I agree, it is time for Hartsy to get a looksy in that spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 I came across something while looking at the Prospects: It looks like Kalem Parker was traded again in jrs. Looks like he went from Moose Jaw to Calgary. Anyone know if Calgary is any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Also, I noticed that Peart has only played in 4 games. Did he get hurt or is he being scratched? Is Peart a bust at this point? He was doing pretty well until last season when it seemed like he went backwards (as did St. Cloud St.). He may have minimal trade value at this point too. I do wonder what Lambos' trade value is.

Protec Verified Member Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 NoJo with the 100% shooting percentage for the last two shots. Haha, probably not really but 1 for 1 today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protec Verified Member Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Wild need a big 3rd. Almost like the Flames got the scouting report on Gus and try to score traffic type goals. Smart... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protec Verified Member Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Down in a hole late in the game. NoJo's mojo rendered useless if they don't tack on a couple here without giving up anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protec Verified Member Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 The penalties and PK hurt pretty bad at this point. Need some pushback. Come on Wild! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNCountryLife Verified Member Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 One of the reasons I always enjoyed watching Parise play was because the guy put in so much effort. Nojo is the opposite. His lack of effort and unwillingness to even engage is incredibly frustrating to watch. I'm really surprised his teammates put up with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say cut your losses already. Give his spot to Hartman. I was sad about that. I would've rather kept Nyquist but at that time it did look like MoJo had turned a corner and he signed for about half as much as what it cost for Gustav. Plus, two Gusses? Could we handle that?? I wouldn't be upset if Geurin could pry him from Nashville as a Mojo upgrade before the playoffs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protec Verified Member Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Now NoJo has the 3-game point streak going. Maybe just see what happens. If he gets on the scoresheet every game for awhile we can complain a little less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
