It sure does look like Babcock is treating Iginla like his personal whipping boy, from hero to zero.
Crosby and Nash equally sucked as much as Iginla but stayed out there. Toews comes in, does absolutely nothing and stays up there. Not saying to keep Iggy there but it your going to bench ineffective players then heatly would have a busy night. Really should have thought about Crosby and Heatly. I know Marleau scored but was he ever invisible, atleast you noticed Thorton turning the puck over consistently.
All homerism aside, NOBODY stepped up after the Swiss tied it up. Would Iginla made a difference, I doubt it the way the team was playing but since he was so quick to change Iginla why stick with others that aren't working? Why give the ducks so much time? Why did Nash play the game, looked like he thought it was figure skating, dipsy-doodling and losing the puck.
Feel for Doughty, since he was molested at the blue line and Marty let in a goal he should of had. It was Doughty's fault but Pronger and Niedimeyer screwed up way more than the kid did and munched the mins. What happened with Seabrook?
Personally I don't care if Canada wins or not but if team Canada loses against US and Iggy gets 3min of ice while Toews, Getzlaf, Perry and Staal are out there non-stop it would be the biggest coaching blunder since Crawford/Gretzky.
