Brent Johnson

My favorite moment as an NHL goalie was in 2002 when I had shutouts in three straight games against the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
 
Transcript: "What was your favorite moment as an NHL goalie? I'd have to say my favorite moment as an NHL goalie was back in 2002 playing for the St. Louis Blues. I was in my second full season and it came in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs against the Chicago Blackhawks. We lost the first game of that series and we won the next four, but the three after we lost I had shutouts in each game and it was a feat that hadn't been done in the NHL in a long time. I'd have to say that that is probably my favorite moment as an NHL goalie."

Transcript: "Hi Brent, could you please tell us a bit about yourself? My name is Brent Johnson. I live in the Washington DC area with my wife and two daughters. I'm a former 15 year professional ice hockey goaltender. Twelve of those 15 years were spent in the NHL with the St. Louis Blues, the Phoenix Coyotes briefly, the Washington Capitals, and I finished my career in Pittsburgh. I've been retired for about 11 years now, since 2012. Since that time I have been doing analyst work for NBCSW and doing the Washington Capitals games. It's now called Monumental Sports. I am a goaltending coach for all of the Washington Little Caps teams and I've been doing that since I retired as well for about 10 years now. I do on-ice lessons for goaltenders in the Northern Virginia area. I'm third generation NHL hockey player with my grandfather and my father both playing in the NHL. Thank you."

I once witnessed a major fight between Stu Grimson and my teammate Read Simpson. Grimson landed a single punch that sent Simpson to the ground. Afterwards, Simpson asked how he did in the fight, but no one had the nerve to tell him.
 
Transcript: "What was the worst misconduct you have ever witnessed during a game? I've witnessed some pretty nasty things that have happened on the ice and odd occurrences that have happened out on the ice. I'd say not necessarily misconduct, but a couple five-minute major fighting penalties. Stu Grimson versus my teammate Reed Simpson back when I played in St. Louis and I don't have the year. But they squared off right at center ice by the benches. I was on the bench. I didn't play that game, so I had a front row seat. Stu proceeded to go in and he was going in with one single punch and they didn't even tie up. And I believe Grimmer hit Simmer with one just fantastic punch and it put Reed Simpson's nose from here to over here. And the funniest thing about that thing was afterwards in the dressing room, Reed Simpson said, How did I do? We didn't have the nerve to tell him."
