As well, if there is any question at ALL that Iginla might be hurt, then get him the hell off of the bench and not on the physical 4th line.
And if you're going to bench Doughty for playing poorly, why not Pronger for taking a stupid penalty, which leads to the tying Swiss goal in the delay. Why not Neidermayer for his poor overall play?
Baffling.

Benching Doughty for a single mistake that was arguably not his fault was bush league especially after how well he played in the first game. Meanwhile Pronger was doing his usual pylon impersonation he saves for international competition and Neidermayer looking painfully old out there.
