Biggest thing I would love to see in Johnny's game is a willingness to shoot when he is in prime scoring areas -- I understand why he passes in those situations because the cross-seam pass, if accurate, is almost surely a goal every time, especially if your stretching the goalie from side to side. But Johnny has shown he can be a lethal sniper many times over the last 100 games or so including playoffs, I hope he learns to be a bit more selfish sometimes as he is far too humble with the puck when he possesses a deceptive shot like he has.
I mean look at his 1 goal on the year so far - that was an absolute snipe and it was for the game winner, if he could choose to unleash that shot in those prime scoring positions I think he could be a legit 30 goal guy in this league while still racking up 40-50 apples along the way.
