He has no fear whatsoever, in situations where other elite players would get hit or turnover the puck Johhny pulls defenders out of position and creates scoring chances. A Canuck took a shot at him and he slashed the guy back hard.
For such a little guy to play so fearlessly is nearly unheard of, I couldn't believe the smallest guy on the team was getting chippy. He's got that edge Fleury had, not as fast but way better hands and vision. We seriously have a superstar in the making here. He's got the perfect combination of insanse discipline, confidence and humility.

IMO it looks like a 50/50 chance that he's a PPG+ player this season. In today's league if you are, then you're probably top 10 in scoring.
Ffs he's only 22.. a budding superstar without a doubt. The tenacity he showed last night going into the rough areas and forcing plays, then hacking at the canucks players hard like that. If this is the next addition to his game it's going to make him great.
