There has been a lot of talk lately about Max Pacioretty, mostly on social media, that the Canadiens captain is not producing enough. With only two goals and four assists in his last 10 games, many have claimed that he needs to be better, and that something seems off with his game.
Unfortunately, these claims may pass the eye test, but are completely and utterly unsupported.
That Pacioretty hasn't been scoring at a torrid pace over the last stretch is not for lack of effort, nor is it the case that he is playing badly.
