I do think teams had figured him out and he hadn't re-adjusted. Now he has - and it's paying dividends.
But there is no need to overstate or exaggerate the opinions of people who were pointing out valid concerns with Johnny's game and his failure to adjust last season. Let's just be happy that he seems to have evolved his game this year - which is fantastic.

It also helps when you get to play Winnipeg, Vancouver and Edmonton repeatedly.
