Can the REAL Johnny-Hockey please stand up!!!
His shot goal, the BEST part of that goal is that he didn't cheat on the defensive side there. He was controlled with his pokecheck and wasn't exiting before he had it. Erik Karlsson was always cheating for offense in a 50/50 play, and he typically won, but he def was cheating. Carlson looks like he just knows when to go but he never seems to make the wrong decision on "should I go offensively or should I back off for defense".
Nuts. Just Nuts. He needs to be talked about more. 8mill/yr is a steal for this guy.
