Incredibly well-done article with lots of metrics to substantiate the obvious: a marginal-at-best player has continued to digress into an on-ice liability that is systematically bringing the team down.

GMGM should no longer be our GM…. if you couldn’t see the moves he made over the last three years have been slowly sinking the ship, then you’re blind.

When he played 3rd line, wasnt he with Laich/Brouwer a lot? Laich and Brouwer SHOULD ALWAYS BE TOP 6 FORWARDS. There’s your explanation for his point production, hell he played alongside Semin quite a bit, is Semin a 3rd liner? (Answer: Semin was the BEST forward on the team)

Mojo is an undersized forward with no blaring physical skills, no great ice vision, no amazing speed or quickness, no really much of anything above average. Therefore when he performs AVERAGE, that means nothing is wrong. THIS is Mojo, a bottom 6 forward AT BEST.
P.S. why isn’t there an article about “what is wrong with Alex Ovechkin?”

It was painfully obvious in the playoffs last year that the boy is absolutely terrified of contact. That has not changed. “Oh please big strong (North American?) hockey player, here is the puck, just don’t hurt the children!”

I recommended last year that they have a drill where they pass him the puck in the slot 100 times and he gets nailed in the head/chest with pads each time as he one-times on net.

He refused to play in Hershey as I recall….opting to stay back in Sweden when given the option.

Is a coincidence that the euros who went home to play are struggling? Maybe it really harmed their ability to play against NHL D on the smaller rink. Mojo was never very physical either. I think he was generally rushed along in his development and struggles to play a north american style game. Add to that the readjustment after the lock out and you have one seriously lost slumping player.

I think the answer is obvious – its in the goatee. When Johansson went back to Sweden during the lockout, he was kidnapped and replaced with an evil clone with the intent of ruining all European players

he’s like Luiz (sp?) from the Mighty Ducks 2. he might be able to skate, but homeslice can’t keep the puck to save his life… as discussed in the comments already posted, board work isn’t his forte. just cause he can get there quick doesn’t mean he knows what he’s doing once he’s arrived.
