But when he's also on a hot streak on top of that, he can start racking up multi point games like nobody's business. While he was able to dish the puck effectively since the get go, we were all waiting for him to figure out how to score at this level and in the past week or two I think he's turned the corner in that regard. I expect the floodgates to open for him in the near future, if they haven't already. Forsberg is going to have to go strong the rest of the year to keep ahead of Johnny. His confidence and ability to take the game into his own hands like he has would scare me as an opposing fan, it appears he's stepped his game up to a new level.

While I don't disagree with what you're saying, let's not forget Jiri's influence and involvement in all of this. I'm too lazy to check, but I'd guess he has points on at least 70% of the goals on which Johnny has points.
