Michael Johnson was called by a local Malmo radio station after the tough 4-1 loss against the New York Americans. You could tell that he was slightly upset with himself and the way he played. Here is an excerpt of the conversation that was had on the air. "I'm not trying to make excuses for my play or my team but we're a young group of guys and we're growing together. I got to give the team some major props on how they've played so far and and how hard we're training. One thing I can't fault the team with is how hard we're playing, we're not giving up games easily. I, on the other hand, have to take my chances and work harder in order to push forward and become that number 1 goalie I know I can become." Later on he mentioned... "This loss was tough to take since I feel I didn't step up to the plate and I'm promising myself and the team a strong next game from me." It turns out that Michael Johnson lived up to his promises as he was the 1st star of the game against the New York Americans in a 4-1 victory. He managed 27 saves on 28 shots and a 0.964 save percentage. Let's hope that Michael can pull more out of the hat and gain some major momentum as the season is still kicking on.

HUGE GAME FROM JOHNSON. Need to bring back that energy into every game.

Tough loss but tons to gain from this experience.

Hey @ColeMrtz21! Halifax 21st AGM here! We're coming off of a 2nd round Founder's Cup knockout and we're looking to go for it all this season. I can offer top 6 minutes for sure, some of our players are higher tpe but you would have no trouble at all moving up in the depth chart if you put in the work. We have a whole bunch of new, active members, loaded into a team Discord server, all of whom would be happy to help you out with getting to know your way around the site/back into the league. We're a fifth year expansion team, who has had nothing but success in a league that is generally hard to get into the playoffs. The only thing we have yet to do is capture our first cup! You could help us there. You would really improve our team and I'd love to have you along. The team also will be participating in some extracurricular activities. But if I had to pick three things that this team is good at doing it would be winning, helping each other out wherever we can, and most importantly having fun! So what do you say? Want to be a member of the 21st? To accept this offer just quote the post and say "accepted", although whether you choose us or not, I wish you the best of luck in your career! ?

I’d like to apply. Let’s do this!

gud 1

I'd like to apply just to get some commissioner experience under the belt. PM me if you have any questions at all

1. How did you come up with your name? 2. Do you have any long term VHL goals, HOF, championship, well known player? 3. Why did you pick the position you play? 4. We recently have gone 50/50 on our games, how do you feel about this? 5. We currently have Thorvald Gunnarsson 2nd in shutouts at 4, do you predict our defence/goalie is going to continue playing this hot? 6. Has anybody stood out to you so far, if so who?

50+ shots in our two games today. Huge two wins as well! Also @K1NG LINUS got a huge first goal today!

Huge win for Malmo! Proud of our 55 shots!

Review: Holy crap. This is some next level stats work. Major props! I want to say that it's interesting to see how you put it together and you followed up on every detail really well. I respected that you put the limitations into your work as well so we're not super swayed. Great work.

Review: Interesting write up. Hopefully Smith crushed it at the WJC. You brought up some great points on the competition Canada had on the winger position. Might have been nice to see some images but honestly, your content made up for it.

Review: This was last season in the VHLM so it's interesting to see this from the future. Great write up which would be a great if it was accompanied with a gif or an image. Other then that, I enjoyed reading the write up!

Review: LMAO. Honestly, this media spot is absolutely hilarious. Every time Chett makes some weird comment, the interviewer just brushes him off like that crazy grandpa at family reunions. 10/10 interview

Review: Pretty standard bio. I think theres some aesthetic work that could be done on this bio. Pictures could've been centred and maybe even the titles could've been centred as well. Overall, the story was great. Easily the best part of the bio for me.

Review: I like how you formatted this into an interview style biography. Also, mad props for nearly hitting 2000 words. Also really cool to see how you incorporated figure skating and business history into Macburn's history. 10/10

Let’s take a break then

07/18/2019: Oh my god, the weather here in Malmo is absolutely amazing. The city is so vibrant, the sun shines so bright here but theres also a lot of clouds as well. The air here is incredible. I love it here in Sweden. Europe has such a different culture yet, us players for Malmo are so North American, it's hilarious. In Sweden, there is this type of energy that is so animated. Well, I'm tired. Yeah, I said it, I'm tired. It's a good kind of tired, you know? I'm ready to eat a Kit Kat, to be honest. The gym is fun, as is practice and bonding with the guys but I'm just physically tired. I played an entire season last year, did draft combines, then I came straight into training camp with Malmo and I'm starting for them now. Granted, I'm not complaining at all. This has been the best experience in my life, especially to join Malmo. Time difference (jet lag initially, but I got over that) has been absolutely bonkers as well. The guys have been incredible and patient with me as well. They know what its line to be a rookie in the league and with that they expect inconsistencies. I'm trying to iron that out but I'm not super letting that into my head. OH! I'm learning some Swedish from being here. My favourite way of insulting people is saying "du suger" which translates to "you suck" which is relatively tame but let's be honest, it's low key stealthy when trash talking North American teams. I remember saying it to Beau Louth on the Vancouver Wolves and he just looked at me funny. Pretty sure I won that battle since he didn't know how to respond. Plus I made 29 saves out of 30 shots which is unreal. I was on fire that night, specially against my hometown team. We started real hot but I think I've been having a bit too much fun with the squad, we started to get a bit inconsistent with the games we've had so far. Naturally, we've started on fire but turned out to play poorly. I'm obviously not happy with my game but I think we're partying a bit too much and enjoying ourselves. I mean, we're only young for so long, right? Ehhhh. Hockey is a business, if we're not performing then who is? If we've been garbage, we only have ourselves to be accountable for. Hopefully we can fix our mistakes and keep pushing and making it harder for teams to face us. Plus we have Morpheus and he sure as hell is scary. Dude does some weird stuff in the LR too but I'm going to keep that for myself . Rough patch but we're determined to rectify our play. I think we need to focus more in practice and get ourselves going. The sky is absolutely high and we have every opportunity to get some huge wins! Lets go Nighthawks! I believe in all of us. Sincerely, Michael Johnson
