Is it just me or does it seem like there is something very off with Johnny this year. It’s not just his production(as he is still picking up some points). But he seems to have very little zest or enthusiasm thus far into the season. Almost like he isn’t enjoying himself. Pouting, defensively sub par, unwilling to give 100 percent or so it appears.

I mean he’s always been a bit of a whiner when it comes to the refs, so the pouting isn’t new for that regard. But just overall it seems like he isn’t the same. He still has the ability to make plays and passes, threading the needle. But something is different this year.

Rarely seems to smile or just doesn’t look like he’s having fun at all. The do anything and take control Johnny we have been used to in the past isn’t around. I remember when he wanted the puck when the game is on the line.

In fairness he has always disappeared when games get physical. But even when it’s not this year, he isn’t the same.
