Comments for Holding Court: Hedman or Johnson? at http://hockey.dobbersports.com , comment 1 to 8 out of 8 comments http://hockey.dobbersports.com Sun, 19 May 2013 15:52:17 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/917-holding-court/4970-holding-court-hedman-or-johnson#comment-22902 Landeskog's pts took off when the coaching staff finally realized Hejduk had lost his touch and put the kid on the #1PP. Lot of his production has little to do with any of his teammates. Just my 2 cents. - DuklaNation Sun, 14 Oct 2012 17:20:32 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/917-holding-court/4970-holding-court-hedman-or-johnson#comment-22875 I like the article and I love your conept Roos. Looking forward to future installments. Personally, I'll taake EJ because of his 155 shots compared to Hedmans 100ish pace. Also, EJ's points last year were on a career low shooting% of .26. Hedman's points last year were based on a career high shooting %. Next year, the shooting %s may come closer to the career norm and EJ will lilkely continue to shoot more. That's aLways key for points from a D. Fact is though, there are arugments for both sides...which is why it's such a great article. - T-Camp Sat, 13 Oct 2012 14:49:37 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/917-holding-court/4970-holding-court-hedman-or-johnson#comment-22872 I'll take Hedman over Johnson all day. Look at his SEL numbers while playing against men as a 17 year old. - robmyatt Sat, 13 Oct 2012 09:40:50 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/917-holding-court/4970-holding-court-hedman-or-johnson#comment-22871 @Dukla - I agree it's a bit of a stretch to say that EJ's character spurred landeskog's amazing rookie season. Roos - you should've just avoided addressing the point about "character." I'm not saying that it's outrageous to claim that EJ had a beneficial effect on landeskog's rookie numbers, but you shouldn't get in the habit of countering arguments with sheer speculation. The least you could do is actually provide an example of EJ's character as an Av; instead you just make a broad statement about his character and mention Landeskog as being an example of causation between the two. Classic flaw of argument right there. I think Dukla was a bit taken aback that you used speculation as primary evidence in that particular claim. This is supposed to be like a courtroom, right? - mounD Sat, 13 Oct 2012 09:22:29 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/917-holding-court/4970-holding-court-hedman-or-johnson#comment-22868 Well done. I'm considering trading for Johnson so this is good information. DuklaNation - I don't think it's a stretch to say EJ contributed to Landeskog's success. No player, especially a young player, achieves success in a vacuum. I'm not saying you're wrong, maybe EJ had nothing to do with GL's success. Just saying its not a stretch in the least to say otherwise.

Fixed now. Dukla - Johnson definitely had a positive influence on Landeskog - both were high picks, both played in the NHL at a very young age. I'm not sure what is unbelievable about that. Roos isn't saying Johnson scored all of Landeskog's goals, but he had a part in his breakout rookie performance. - angus Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:48:13 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/917-holding-court/4970-holding-court-hedman-or-johnson#comment-22862 I cant believe you're giving credit to Johnson for Landeskog's performance. - DuklaNation Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:26:45 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/917-holding-court/4970-holding-court-hedman-or-johnson#comment-22861 Erik with a K. - Mr. Guru Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:19:13 +0100
