At first I always wanted the puck to be passed to Johnny heading up the ice cause I wanted to see what he could do... But after seeing him play the way he has this season it's obvious that chances seem to always be created if he is the guy with speed up the ice carrying the puck. I know there's a stat out there that actually tracks scoring chances based on who carries the puck across the offensive blue line but I don't know what it's called.
With Johnny it's practically every time he is the guy carrying the puck across the blue line a play is set up for a quality scoring chance. It seems like prudent coaching and not fanboyism to plan the offensive attack around that.
