Johnny was the first Flames player I followed so closely right from when we drafted him. Everything you read of him back then you can't help but cheer for him. Being so undersized (framewise), but magic hands and vision, he was electrifying to watch. From him dominating at the WJC to watching him live for the first time in Penticton, he makes up so many of my core Flames memories.
I still can't believe this is real right now. I feels like all just a bad dream...
