I dont know if hes the victim of the fact that St. Louis is terrible or if he also just has not been good.

He hasn't been good but none of the goalies have...so a lot to do with the play in front of them.

They also fell into the 3 headed goalie monster in St. Louis and he is the guy left holding the short straw.

Ironic. I was just checking out his framed jersey and pictures with my son at Trico on Saturday. Bow Valley Hockey Association alumni along with Tyler Myers, Adam Lowry and one other guy from the Sharks org who I hadn't really heard of.

Sorry but did I miss something? Johnson and Allen have been the only 2 goalies to play for St Louis this season and they had to recall Binnington, so who is the 3rd goalie?

I suppose it’s easier than putting the entire team on waivers.

Wasn’t this the same guy who didn’t want to sign with us as a backup because he wanted to be a starter with starter pay, and we were all like “no, stop over evaluating yourself, you’re still a backup”?

I don’t feel too bad for this guy

I think it was just more about opportunity and those opportunities existed at the time elsewhere.

The issue with Johnson was his baseline average. He could play lights-out amazing but then his normal play was sub-par which is tough to maintain in the NHL.

That being said, hes just being waived, injuries happen and he might see himself back in the show. He was never anything but a loyal soldier so I wish him nothing but the best.

Ducks announce Ryan Miller will be out for 6 weeks with a MCL injury, in case you are wondering why the Ducks claimed Johnson.

Miller to Johnson is quite a downgrade for backups. Gibson is going to play a ton.
