I have to give it to Giordano on consistency alone. However, I think it's closer than people are saying. It's been really encouraging to see this team's superstar actually go out and try to drive the play and take over games.
It used to be that Johnny was just trying too hard, but now it feels like he has found that next level competitive gear and is grasping what it takes to lead by example on the ice.
The leadership transition is looking just fine with guys like Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Backlund, Hamonic, and maybe even Dube.
