You guys are acting as if this is 1984 and Babcock benched Gretzky. Good lord, have some perspective. For all we know, Iginla is the 13th forward on the depth chart, notwithstanding the awesome display against Fort Worth...errr... Norway. Based on age, play this season... I would say Iginla is in the mix with Morrow and Bergeron for the #11-13 spots, and Bergeron is the designated face-off guy...
I think it's a much bigger deal that Lidstrom was getting minimal ice-time for the Swedes - was he benched?
