BRENT JOHNSON RUMORS
Did Johnson’s KO KO Jonson?
When the Penguins signed Brent Johnson to be Marc-Andre Fleury’s backup three years ago, they knew what they were getting. He was a reserve goalie his whole career, who had 111-94-12 record and a .903 save percentage. You can’t ask for much more out of a backup tender.
And the Pens didn’t have to; in his first year in the Burgh, Johnny started 15 games and went 10-6-1 while...

someone deserved better than this
And that man's name is Brent Johnson. Somehow, after last night, the Whatever we had just wasn't quite there. Plus, everyone played way tighter. Just not much going on. Beej had an actually amazing game. Of course, there is going to be some contingent on the Internet who always thinks the Penguins goalie is to blame for every single loss, or that he "sucks" even when he carries...

Johnson's long wait likely to end tonight
At least one thing did not change over the NHL's All-Star break: Goalie Brent Johnson was in his usual position at the end of the Penguins bench Tuesday when their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs began at Consol Energy Center. Marc-Andre Fleury made his 23rd consecutive appearance - all but two of them as a starter - to extend the longest such streak of his career.

Video: Brent Johnson Save of the Year Candidate
Watching your team kill a penalty in the final minute of a game with a one-goal lead is always nerve-racking. Take another defending player off the ice, add one for the attackers, and make sure the backup goaltender is in net, and you’re left with a 6-on-3 penalty kill that had even Penguins fans, owners of the second-ranked penalty kill in the NHL after leading the league last...

Goalie Controversy is Real in Pittsburgh
It’s easy to see that in that early this season that Penguins starting goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury isn’t playing to his full potential, and as a result coaches, players and fans have lost confidence in him.
It’s easy to see why everyone is losing patience with the once popular Fleury. He has posted some of the worst numbers of any goalie in the NHL with a save...
