Watching him skate off each shift tonight, he was always annoyed with himself. Scared is being thrown around here, and that's not it.

I think t was Loubardias the other day who said that Johnny looks like he isn't having fun playing right now. For whatever reason it is.
He's right. The always smiling/growling/yelling enthusiastic small guy who couldn't see an obstacle big enough to stop him and his love for the game, seems to have found one.
Really hope he figures it out soon and gets it dealt with what ever it is. Until then its going to keep looking like this. He has been awful regardless of some offense on the season.
Everyone knows how good he can be...but he aint anywhere close to that right now.
