In 2009 (before they went on to win the Stanley Cup) Cheryl kindly introduced me to Penguins Hockey and Sidney Crosby. For that gift I can never thank her enough. During the 2009-10 season I discovered Brent Johnson as back up goaltender for the PENS.
For those of you unfamiliar with Johnny’s work – check this out. Brent Johnson Save (Yes I was at that game – Center Ice behind the PENS bench.
See I told you .. any who back to Johnny.
Later that season Brent Johnson made headlines from his one punch KO on goaltender Rick DiPietro of the NY Islanders. Then 9 days later got into another fight with NY Islander Michael Haley in the epic 90 minute long brawl that was the PENS @ Islanders 11 February 2011 match up. Johnny is officially a BAMF.
But before his NHL12 video game nod for the achievement “Goalie Fight” I knew Beej to be a BAMF in the crease. If you don’t believe me … watch this. Brent Johnson Tribute
This season I have my own Brent Johnson Tribute —
So this season show Johnny some love cause he deserves it … Ramble On Johnny … Ramble On.
