There was nothing fancy about Janssen's game. Basically, he was looking to push opponents around and maybe kick some ass
when the time was right.
That's why in both his seasons in New Jersey, even though he only played in just over half the games, he lead the team in penalty
minutes. An incident in 06-07 stood out where a check he dished out sent Tomas Kaberle head first into the boards. He got
suspended for 3 games for it, and his first game against the Maple Leafs since the incident, Wade Belak gave him his receipt... a
fight, not another boarding incident.
So everybody knows, his points total in Albany/Lowell wasn't that high, either. 9 points in 108 games over parts of 4 seasons.
That's to go with 487 PIMs.
He had spent near the entire 07-08 season in IR with a separated shoulder after a fight in the preseason with Jesse Boulerice. It
was also clear, though, that Janssen didn't fit into Brent Sutter's system. So just before the trade deadline, he was taken off IR,
then the day of, he was sent home in a deal that brought Bryce Salvador to the Devils.
Most of us Devils fans felt that Blues fans would love Janssen. Not just because he's a hometown kid, but because he was also
popular among us fans, as well. I mean, how else do you explain a standing O after scoring his first and only goal as a Devil?
But there were a few that didn't. Hey, we'll gladly take him back. For a minimal 2-way contract, too.
