Its a funny name
Johnson is the best player remaining in the playoffs. Just a generational player.
I think your wrong there, Kane is the guy I'd put at numero uno.

I wouldn't crap that much on his ability to play center. Before he broke his leg he was doing everything you'd expect from a top 3 center at a very high level. That said, no sense dwelling on that past. He's playing strong and extremely confident now at wing so keep him there. It's a good thing the Lightning got Drouin to spend some time playing center in Juniors so it gives them some options going forward.
Stamkos is now one point behind Johnson for the playoff scoring lead. True we have played 4 more games than the Ducks but its still an impressive comeback by Stammer.

To be fair, everyone is born inside a generation.Is there anyone left who ISN'T a generational player at this point?
He's quietly having some very good playoffs. For all this talk of Tyler Johnson, the reality is that Stamkos>Johnson AINEC. You'd have to be a fool to pick Johnson over Stamkos under any circumstances.

Im kind of hoping he continues to surge and wins the Conn Smythe to shut up all the haters.

I hate this logic. Before Stamkos scored his 2nd goal of the playoffs he was playing sub-par. How does bringing that up make you a "hater?"
It's great when people underestimate Johnson. Stamkos has raised his level of play and it's awesome, but Johnson's been at this level all year.
And Stamkos has been at this level for the past 5 years.
This is where I have the issue. As a die hard fan, I love both of them and consider the team lucky to have both. But, we tend to jump to conclusions as it pertains to Johnson and Stamkos.
What are we going to say when in the next year or two Johnson goes through a long stretch where he's trying to find his game? It happens more often than not.
At this point Stamkos has reached the level where he's going to get paid a huge amount and the hardcore fans will most likely never be completely satisfied with his production. Unless, he continuously puts up godly numbers he will always have his contract and lofty expectations held over his head.
Not saying it's wrong, but it's a damned if you do damned if you don't from now on.
This will eventually happen to Johnson too. It's just at this point since Johnson is playing above expectations with a cap friendly deal, everything he does is looked at as amazing. If both get a rebound, tap in goal Johnson is praised and Stamkos gets "that's nice but..."
Again, not saying it's wrong, just nature of the beast.
