Interference is being run on him but not in a way refs can really call. He comes in, buttonholes and finds all of his regular avenues are closed due to traffic and pressure so he ends up forcing a low percentage play and it goes the other way. Johnny gets frustrated and down on himself.
Not sure why the flames don't mix iit up though, with 3 guys squeezing off Johnny that theoretically opens up space on the other side. And getting others to carry the puck in might force the other team not to key on Johnny's entries. I'm sure it's more complicated than I'm making it out to be but that's what I've seen.
