Erik Johnson, a star defenseman obtained by the Colorado Avalanche for quite a lot just before the NHL's trade deadline during the past off-season, does not have a point at home this season. Worse, Johnson's defensive play Wednesday night was poor and he finished a minus-2 in Colorado's 4-1 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes. Johnson is now a minus-8 for the season, with no goals. He fumbled a few pucks and was caught flat-footed going the other way, and was even kept off the first power-play unit at the end. "Totally unacceptable on my part," Johnson said. "I wasn't happy at all (Wednesday night with) how I handled some pucks. We just weren't good enough, and it starts with me. It's our home rink, our hometown - it's just unacceptable."
