Everything Johnny does now is quite predictable. Teams have caught on to his bag of tricks, especially the zone entry, and it's not hard to focus on Johnny when he's got a plug like Brouwer on the other side. More and more he's being kept to the perimeter, and he shoots the puck like a 13 year old. He clearly has the skill to change it up and get it back on track, but what he did in the past is no longer working and he needs to adjust. His idea of adjusting this year is diving or laying on his back mouthing off at the ref. To me that is on the coach and the veteran leadership of this team.
