Jack Johnson
Playing in his first NHL game for the Kings this Thursday, vs. the Canucks. I've been looking forward to seeing this young gun play in the NHL ever since I saw him play for Team USA in the World Jr's a couple of years ago.

Alexander Semin 9. Patrick O'Sullivan 10. Nicklas Backstrom  Picture Courtesy of www.nhl.ru Name: Jack Johnson Position: D Shoots: Left Height: 6-1 Weight: 206 lbs Birthdate: 1987-01-13 Hometown, State: Faribault, Minnesota Jack Johnson Prospect Grade: 8.5 B Profile Contributed By: Jeff Dahlia History Jack Johnson came into the spotlight while spending two years at Shattuck-St. Mary’s prep school, where he played with his good friend and future phenom, Sidney Crosby. He went on to play with the U.S. NTDP during the 2003-04 season. He continued with Hockey USA and the development program for 2004-05 where he was among the best defenders in the system for the second year running and led all defensemen in scoring during that span. Johnson has also seen international competition, playing in the 2004 IIHF World U-18 Championships in Minsk, Russia. Over the course of the 2004-05 season, he helped Team USA to commanding tournament sweeps at the Five Nations Tournament, Compuware Four Nations Cup and the U-18 2005 IIHF World Under-18 Championships. Talent Analysis For his age, Johnson has a tremendous amount of skill and ability, which makes him so sought after. He is a slick defenseman who moves well with or without the puck. His stick-handling ability is well above average. He plays with an edge and will not back down to aggressors, but will not seek out trouble. He does extremely well defending in his own zone and reads the attack very well. Johnson plays a very tight and functional game and stifles opposition more often than not. Johnson has above average offensive instincts, a good shot selection from the point and a great wrist shot.

Quite a useful singer/songwriter as well. A bit cheesy for my tastes, but the missus likes him.

Hey,
When ever I see that name I think of Anchorman The Legend Of Ron Burgundy, when he says... "You do not take a tone with me 'cause I will give you rap right on the Jack Johnson."
