Tough fans!
With all due respect to Tampa hockey fans (did I really just type that?). I think hard stats trump the eye test. If he can play badly and still score 42, that's impressive.
He might be experiencing an Iginla like relationship with fans, whereby fat guys like me that have never played a sport at a high level critique one of the finest athletes in the NHL. Yeah, that's probably it.
