4 assists against a solid preds team, he's finding his groove again and we finish with a lot of games at home, I think he has a chance to hit 60 points.
People need to stop freaking out about Johnny and realize that he's gonna be fine and hasn't been as bad as some people are making it seem.

Consistency is a big part of player development, and it takes time. A new coach is always a learning process as well.
I'd recommend people stop harping on Johnny (and Sean, and Sam, and TJ, and Dougie), and give it some time & show some patience. Why? It should be clear - we've had a lot of young developing players struggle at various times this season, and we're still right in the middle of the playoff battle in the division/conference. We have all the reason in the world to think that the consistency will develop over time, and when that development takes place - look at where we'll be. We're going to be division winners.
