I'm really liking Johnny's commitment to D. Sure, he's not the guy to crash and bang, but he's been more than willing to backcheck, chase and harass this season, get into the corners (without getting schmeared on the boards) and dig the puck free to assist the defencemen. This is a good thing. Last night it helped to buy him a goal.
Thought that last six minutes was a blast! The Flames were a bit on their heels but they gave the Greasers nothing. A bunch of shots, not too many of which were dangerous. Great work.
