In what way is he implied as becoming a hindrance?
This is not a dig at you, it's a genuine question. I'm intrigued to find out in what context some people are saying this.

The word on the street is "incredulous"

The answer is no and that should really be the end of this debate

Is it silly season already?? - Cam has a reputation, and we all know how the refs want to make sure that they are the most important people on the ice - Saturdays game was a dead rubber so no point in taking useless penalties - last night he policed the ice well but got two penalties (one of which was obviously due to who he was not what he did) had he had a fight with Lee, or anyone else for that matter he would have no doubt got the instigator, and possibly a lot worse. Watch him on the ice, he is as fast, if not faster than most other players, he covers the whole rink, hits like a train, (when he has to), intimidates, and I think he was laughing a lot more than Lee, not many players go near him when he has the puck, and a lot keep looking over their shoulders when he is on the ice. - Get rid, get real- if we gassed him there would be a queue to sing him up. Early days yet, he is still getting to know the league and the refs to see what he can or cannot due (which is difficult as they are so inconsistent)

Can't see how he'd have hindered us at any stage? I think it was nate24 said a lot of people are too high on him, on one of the game threads, and I agree with that, but he's been a positive influence on the team so far. |

You'll probably find the critics know nothing about hockey, and we've got plenty of them sitting around the arena. Some of the comments I've heard during games are astounding

A similar question has been posed on the Panther FB page:-
"Anyone got any idea what purpose Cam Janssen serves?
Why all the adulation?"
It's fair to say the guy that posed the question is very much in the majority. As he should be.

Some of the comments I've heard during games are astounding Perhaps you ought to start a thread entitled Things Heard While At The Hockey? I know it'd make me laugh at least. On topic though, I'm a relatively new fan of hockey and I'm still feeling my way around in the sport so you're not likely to see me firing off paragraphs of informed opinions on plays and players, however, some things are easy to pick up such as the way the signing of Mr Janssen as both energised and united Panthers fans. I'd also go as far as to say that rival fans don't seem able to stop talking about him either, positively and negatively (no such thing as bad press) and if the fans are talking, it's fair to assume that their players must be too. So even if he wasn't a player who is clearly enjoying himself while he works extremely hard for us on the ice, which there is no doubt that he is, he would still be a force of his own and therefore no detriment or hinderance to the team. |

Safe to say the gentleman who posed a similar question on Facebook has been put in his place...

He's very much the opposite as far as I'm concerned. Very positive player for the team.

I did Yotes but I also said his role is important to the team and an unmissable element for us as we have a team based structure that needs each guy to play their role. Sorry, just wanted to add context as I do like the guy. |

Indeed, didn't mean to suggest otherwise. I like him too, glad we got him and he's definitely not a hindrance, just think sometimes his role in games gets a little puffed up beyond what it actually is, because it's him.

As much as we bemoan the officials, I think (with Sunday excluded) theyve been rather accepting of Cam. They've let him apply his trade and recognise he doesn't hit illegally. Only Tom Pering who started calling the penalties because of reputation on Sunday

Only Tom Pering who started calling the penalties because of reputation on Sunday Have to agree with you regarding other games - which makes it even worse to know what will or will not be accepted - Pering totally lost control of the game last night and was lucky it did not end in a free-for-all (think this was down to the players realising that if anything did happen then serious penalties would ensue) - And is it me but do the new crop of refs seem very young and small - think if anything did start would they be able to handle it?? |

If anyone remembers the last two seasons their response will be hell no!
Silly thread, please remove it or send it to rumours section or cage gold.

Whilst I disagree with the opinion, there is a little validity to the question. However, 95% seem to be opposed to it and that's reflected in the thread! |

His presence allows his teammates to play with confidence. Doesn't take dumb penalties. Plays with energy and enthusiasm. Throws big checks. Appears to be a positive influence on the team.
Glad he plays for us.
