That’s easy to say but no one, regardless of what they do or what they make performs at their peak level every single day. Expecting that is ridiculous. In Gretzky’s prime years he still had a handful of games where he earned 0 or 1 point. Crosby has had goalless droughts of 11 and 12 games. He was held pointless 4 times in 5 games last year alone.
