Which, is a opinion that I strongly disagree with. It's pretty easy to claim re-written history would favour your opinion, but looking back at the state of the team before his run absolutely shows the contrary. Things were looking bad for the Flames, and the outlook was grim. It was on Johnson's back that this season was saved and I'm very confident in that.
