Since joined the prior to the 2009-10 season the team has known nothing but losing, disappointment and soul-crushing collapses.Following the firing of Randy Carlye on Tuesday, the team is now on its third coach since then and when it comes to distributing blame for the team's performance, Ke sel, the best player on Matt Magill Jersey the team, has been one of the first players to take the majority of the heat. This is something that seems to be an increasingly common trend in sports. When teams lose, it's because the best player has too many i sues and isn't doing enough to elevate the rest of his inferior teammates.We experienced the latest round of this in Toronto on Tuesday when former Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson, after rarely being heard from in recent years, appeared on a local radio station and scorched the earth with some pretty intense criticism directed at Ke sel, including why you can't always rely on him because of his tendency to be Donnie Walton Jersey -- in Wilson's words -- "two weeks on and two weeks off." This happened on the same day that Ke sel was involved in when he was asked whether or not he felt he was coachable.On the list of things that Ke sel has been criticized for throughout his Toronto career (and it is a long list, including questions about his leadership, criticisms for not speaking with the media, his physical fitne s, his willingne s to adapt, and whether or not he is coachable) the inconsistent label is one of the most baffling Zac Grotz Jersey and the easiest to dispute. I'm not going to pretend to know whether or not he is a good leader or teammate (because I don't), and because it has absolutely no impact on what he does as a player. The only thing we can accurately and fairly judge is his performance . Whatever flaws he may have to his performance -- both on and off the ice -- consistency is not among them. In fact, his consistency as a goal-scorer and producer is what seperates him from most other NHLers.Ke sel is paid a lot of money by the Maple Leafs because he does one thing better than almost any other player in the league -- score goals.Since the start of the 2009-10 season, when Ke sel was traded to the Maple Leafs from the for a couple of draft picks, he has scored more goals than all but three players in the ( , and ). He has done this by averaging at least one goal once every 2.3 games that he has played (he has at least one goal in 143 of the 404 games he has played as a Maple Leaf). That is the sixth best mark in the league over that stretch, trailing only Ovechkin, Stamkos, , and Perry. And even though he has been prone to some extended goal droughts over that time, it's nothing that any other player in the league has not experienced ( ). In his Mitch Haniger Jersey five-plus years with the team he has gone more than five games without a goal just nine times. By comparison, Steven Stamkos over that same stretch has averaged a goal once every 2.04 games and has had seven stretches of five-or-more games without a goal. Ovechkin scores once ever 2.26 games has had six stretches of at least five games without a goal. Crosby has had eight. It happens.For a guy that hasn't mi sed a Ben Gamel Jersey game since 2009-10 and is on a yearly basis one of the best goal-scorers in the league Ke sel takes an obscene amount of heat for his dedication and production.If there is a a problem with his production and his consistency, it's not the actual production and consistency, it's the unrealistc expectations people seem to have for what he should be doing.
