For hockey players, consistently producing year in and year out is one of the toughest parts of the job.
Just ask Riley Sheahan who went from 14 goals last season to a career low two this season.
At the end of the day, aside from talent, consistency is what separates the good players from the great ones.
That said, sometimes good players can have forgettable seasons. Andrew Ladd, for example, recorded his lowest point total since his third season, but he did score 23 goals this year for the Islanders.
He also averaged less assists per game this season than Canadiens backup goalie Al Montoya, and that's your crazy stat of the day.
Ladd finished the season with eight assists, six more than Montoya had in 59 more games.
The stat itself is completely meaningless, but it does show that numbers can be fun and insane from time to time.
Surprisingly, the eight assists for Ladd weren't a career low (rookie season, five assists in 29 games), but the two assists for Montoya were a career high.
