It is so tough not to be super excited for JG and although I so desperately want him to be the next one. I want Johnny's play to dictate where he plays. If it is on the farm next year so be it, or if it is first line with Monahan/Backlund so be it. It is evident though it takes him a few games to become comfortable in an environment and then look out.

You'll get no argument from me there, FH. I just get tired of the "he's too small to make it" song and dance. The Hawks' website list Patrick Kane as 5' 11" but if you've ever seen pictures of him standing beside 6' 2" Jonathan Towes, you'll notice that he's clearly more than 3 inches shorter than Toews. So what!. It's the drive and talent that counts. Johnny will, however, need increased leg strength because he'll face more obstruction once the league catches on to the gem the Flames have.
