I'm also starting to lose faith in Johnny. It seems he's scared to do any moves ala Patrick Kane. Kane's unpredictable and can always get in the right areas. Seems Johnny is scared and always will drive the outside either curls back to the blue line and dumps it in or will just try a low percentage perimeter shot near the dots. I just don't think he has the speed to do what he wants to do. And he's also afraid of getting crushed.

Have to agree that Johnny looked extremely timid this series. Great player in regular season and obviously amazing in overtime but not built for playoff hockey - especially if they somehow made a long run which I'm not sure I will ever see again in my lifetime.

Only standout for me this short series was Monahan. The rest just weren't good enough (ONE friggin goal in an elimination game???) and of course the goaltending was non-existent.
