The bold sums it up. I watched the entire game, every time Johnny touched it, he created space or put the puck into space. His linemates did nothing to give him options and for whatever reason didn't pass to him when he was open. I kept thinking Johnny was wide open in certain scenarios but the puck wouldn't get to him. Extremely frustrating game to watch. Backlund also showed ok in that game... would have like to see them put together as they were the only 2 making things happen.
