I cannot wait to watch the next game he plays in a Flames uniform. He created some good chances and was surprisingly effective at pressuring the D-men on the forecheck. He was credited with one takeaway, but I think he influenced the play a lot with and without the puck in the Canucks zone.
He looked a bit lost in his own zone a couple of times, but as soon as he got the puck or entered the offensive zone he looked like an NHL-level player. I honestly don't think he misplaced a single pass tonight. Good instincts on the goal.
Welcome to the NHL Johnny Hockey!
