Exactly, he needs to keep it simple and not try to be like JG it Mony. Just bang, make simple plays, go to the net, protect Johnny, back check and take zero dumb penalties. If he does this he’ll be super successful. If he goes back to thinking he’s the best pick Calgary’s ever had, he’s going to fail.
He played perfect yesterday. If Ward takes him out of that spot next game, it’s on the coaching at that point.
