“I’ve never been this far before,” he said. “It just gets more fun every day, I feel like. This is what you play for, this is what you work for your whole career — to play as long as possible and give yourself and the team a chance.They have managed to raise their game the longer this playoff run has stretched out in part because of Johansson’s contributions.

That’s something Sweeney tried a year ago while bringing in Rick Nash — only to see the big winger limited by a concussion.

Marchand even called Johansson to talk things over and offer an apology.
