Who's arguing that they only figured out how to stop him now? He hasn't been very good in the post-season since his rookie year: 19gp 4g 10p. And only 1 EVG and 1 EVA in there.
He is career PPG+ in the regular season against each of the other 3 divisions. But only 136p in 166gp against the Pacific.
A reasonable explanation is that if you play frequently enough to actually gameplan for him, he isn't that hard to slow down...
