Babcock said he told Iginla before the game that he wants him to use his size as an asset. He didn't need it on his goals, but he otherwise used his size, as did Nash. Crosby gets freed up to make plays when he's got such big bodies as linemates.

"We need (Iginla) to be a physical presence for us, to be really hard to play against," Babcock said. "He doesn't need to score to help us, but obviously he did tonight. But, that's what we're looking for, and Bergeron was just a very useful player for us."

Babcock is a hypocrit by that Statement neither Bergeron or Toews are big bodies that will provide a physical game that will open up opportunities for Sid the Kid.

How many points has that line combination generated without Iginla ZERO.
Babcock needs to held accountable for screwing around with this line not using them on 4 out of 6 of the PP is inexcusable. Babcock cutting back their ice time I simply do not get.
