This will be an unpopular opinion but I actually agree with Healy. Anointing him "Johnny Hockey" already places him on some legendary mantle and I don't blame media types for being a little hesitant to do so.
I think the nickname is actually counterproductive to his development. It places a target on his back - by both players and the media alike. Overcoming his size is enough of an obstacle that IMO this "Johnny Hockey" hoopla is something that's become a distraction.
