I brought up the Iginla thing to point out that people would probably feel differently if it was a Canadian player involved in a situation like this, not to compare the difference between a back-up and 4th liner. If that's too difficult for you how about if Luongo or Brodeur did the same thing?

Well there's a large difference between playing one prelim game against a junk opponent (backup) and competing for a medal (starter).
Whereas fourth liners play a very large role on the team,
especially on Canada.
