Someone please explain this inconsistency argument to me. Is it that he doesnt score every game? Forgets to possess the puck every other shift? Only blocks a shot once every third game? What is it?
His stats as listed on NHL.com are:
2002-2003 Kings 79GP, 14G, 17A, 31pts, 12+/-, 34PIM
2003-2004 Kings 77GP, 24G, 24A, 48pts, 8+/-, 24PIM
2004-2005 LOCKOUT
2005-2006 Kings 69GP, 21G, 33A, 54pts, 17+/-, 40PIM
2006-2007 Kings 82GP, 35G, 36A, 71pts, -8+/-, 34PIM
2007-2008 Kings 71GP, 23G, 44A, 67pts, 1+/-, 22PIM
2008-2009 Kings 77GP, 32G, 27A, 59pts, -6+/-, 30PIM
He averages over 75 games per year. he's a .725 ppg player, who has great puck possession skills and is responsible defensively. So he doesn't score every game. You want inconsistent, a guy who for numerous games was invisible and didn't carry his weight on the team? Find the "C" and there he is.
So please explain this inconsistency thing to me. Its like calling Luc inconsistent. Streaky sure, but inconsistent, I don't get it.
And don't even get me started on the entirely offbase moniker of "the loaf."
