Johnny's been trying to feed his linemates in transition on a consistent basis. But the plays constantly dies on their sticks. Then he eventually tries to do something himself and makes something happen later in a game when they fail to generate anything. I've seen Colborne try to carry the puck in himself to make a play (just to lose it) more times than I've seen him look for Johnny to make a play. These aren't suitable linemates, they run and gun but can't cycle the puck. You need a line that can drive possession once in a while and can get him the puck in the offensive zone to actually serve his purpose for being on the team. How is that not simple to see or understand? Well that's the problem I'm seeing here.
