All in due time indeed...but sometimes it's not rocket surgery.
I like to think of it as Hartley pacing and easing Johnny in the first bit, then sitting him for one last look at the whole NHL-level game. Then, I imagine Hartley approaching Johnny the next day and saying to him, "'ey, you know, like, show me what you can do, kid."
