When he doesn't, people get disappointed and he gets labelled as inconsistent, or not fired up.

Most on Calgarypuck don't call out Iginla for his scoring, we all know that he is good for 30 goals in a full season.
What Iginla gets criticized for is his lack of commitment to a 200 foot game, this becomes increasingly noticeable when the scoring dries up though because Iginla starts to cheat when he is looking for that goal.
Watch the games against the Canucks/Wild and compare that to his performance against Dallas and they are night and day. He didn't score is any of those games but he was applauded after the Stars game not for his points but for his 200 foot game and the fire/determination we used to see every game from Iginla.
