Chances are we talk about this all week and it lasts 5 min anyway
Seems like something we are gonna talk about for 3 days and will last 5 minutes
Remember when Dion played forward? It was the talk of the town and he only played the opening shift at forward then went back to D

If you look at points stats only, Johnny is above average top six forward. However if you watch him play, it's obvious he is playing deep below his capabilities. Lot of his point are secondary assists on PP goals when he simply moved the puck to the next guy. Last game he got primary assist on the empty net goal. Also he is good for atleast one or two breakaway misses per game. None of this is a standard for him. It's fair to say he is never a difference maker in Flames' win, as he is supposed to. When Flames win, it's usually because of Lindholm, Tkachuk and Rittich.
