Going from 19:11 TOI (highest) to 13:36 TOI (lowest among d-men) in back to back games is something funny? But that's just TOI. You completely neglected good play went with the 19:11 TOI and bad play with 13:36 TOI. That identifies inconsistency, albeit at opposite extremes. It is evident you have problem with actual reporting and just what to white knight for Solberg all the time. There is nothing wrong with identifying Solberg had a bad game.

Again, we're both fans of Solberg, but I actually do want to know how he's been playing. You've hyped up Solberg so much with his most TOI in pre-season to make believe Solberg is a top-pairing D today. But you have toned your schtick down tremendously during the regular season b/c Solberg is a 2nd pairing D. Yet, you want to jump down my throat for identifying a fact that Solberg had the lowest TOI among defensemen and exclude the context that he has been playing 2 minutes or more above that?
Don't be hypocrite.
Once again, there's nothing wrong with identifying Solberg had a bad game; the -2 rating and 2 PIM probably justified Solberg losing minutes.
