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

actually what you said was crap
I never mentioned goal scoring records in a season. I was pretty clear in explaining my issues with the guy and they were very specific in terms of positioning, going into the dirty areas, and being a part of a team solution to defense, and transition. I mentioned his feet moving, his battle level
I think maybe when you're a fan of a player (which Iginla deserves many) I think you tend to focus on 30 goals and 35 assists and not pay much attention to plus/minus and what he actually does away from the other team's net.
