What I'm saying is that, objectively, Johnny has been the best player on a loaded team over a 5 game sample size. He's actually leading the entire tournament in scoring (incl exhibition). Considering his NHL production, it's just further proof that there is minimal risk of him becoming a 60 point player. He looks more like a 100 point player in this tournament.

Again, the exhibition games are meaningless. You only weaken your argument by referring to them. He isn't leading the tournament in scoring.
If NA manages to beat Sweden and make it into the playoff round, and he has a great game against Canada, well at least then you can call it a big game. Still have a sample size issue, but at least it would be success in a big game.
