I think as Flames fans people are a little anti biased in that nobody wants to overhype his accomplishments. But really, he's a sensational player that generates buzz around North America and draws attention from people that aren't hockey fans. He'll win it, if he doesn't it's a robbery.

Getting to watch him the whole season a lot of us don't realize how good he actually is, the way he drives the play, the way defenders back off, the way he can receive passes, give passes, shoot the puck in tight, chip in one timers, spin off checks; all of it, it's not normal. He's a special player in nearly a dozen different ways, of course he's going to win the Calder. Even guys like Kane, Crosby and Stamkos can't do some of the things Johnny does. Can Crosby receive a pass out of the air halfway across the rink with one hand while doing a 360? Johnny does things at such a high speed that his wizardry often goes unnoticed.
