The fact that he is always in scoring position is that reason. He is snake bitten and has no talent whatsoever to score goals but the guy gets his ass into the dirty areas and stands in front of the net. If he were making half what he is now, nobody would uttter a word at his performance so far.
Im in the extreme minority, but I think he has deserved every ounce of icetime he has gotten. Jackman should be the much, much bigger target as 'whipping boy' this year.
