I guess if the Bruins win it will be easy to say he made the wrong choice but with the Bruins-Leafs, Chicago-Detroit and Rangers-Capitals series it is easy to see how small things can change the whole play-offs and how fast a team can go to first round disappointments to Stanley Cup finalists.

Moon, stop being moon. I didn't even want Boston to win and I can clearly see that they have every single aspect that a Cup winning team needs to win

Oh I think they were the better team yes, just pointing out how close it was to them being out in the first round and then all of a sudden people are questioning their team and what they need to do to win in the play-offs, especially with two straight 1st round losses. If the refs call the clear penalty in game 7 there is a good chance Boston loses that game but not really that different of a team.
I think they are a fine play-off team but that is how close it is between being a team "built for the play-offs" and a team with two straight 1st round exits. So kind of harsh to think Iginla should have predicted how everything would play out.

Yeah I guess the same guys who have been Iginla haters are just HUGE Bruin fans
it's obvious and I'll continue to say it's sad and pathetic.

What are you talking about?
I am pointing out how close it is for teams in the play-offs in terms of winning and losing.
I am not commenting on whether they are built for the play-offs or not and never said they weren't. I am talking about the perception of teams and how close it can be between great and disappointment.

Pittsburgh call in show. Plenty of blame going around.

Awesome. Looks good on the over rated Pens, and quite frankly even though I love the guy, looks good on Iggy for blocking the trade to the team best suited for him to go to the over rated lottery built team instead

What impresses me about Rask is how low his reaction time is. He's so fast. His midichlorian count must be off the charts.

If he is legtimately injured then he gets a mostly pass from me. The blame then shifts to his teammates for not picking up the slack and Bylsma for not controlling his ice time better (shorter shifts). If it is because he wasn't comfortable playing tough because of his jaw then he should have just left the jaw protector on.

Is there really "Iggy haters" or is that just in your mind? Maybe there is one flames fan that is a Iggy hater, and even then i doubt it. Just because some posters did not care if Iggy got his cup this year does not make them haters.
I have followed the flames since the Corral and Iggy is my favourite flame of all time. That said i wanted Pitt out every round they played, not only for the better draft pick, but because what Iggy did at the trade deadline did not sit well with me. It's probably never going to sit well with me.
Plus its hard to take you serious when up to this year you still spouted off that Iggy was a first line player on any team.

Had to double check this stat, but Iginla with only 11 minutes of ice time in an elimination game on a team that can't score?!
3rd liners get more than that. WTF?
