Like I`ve said repeatedly this guy has his personal favorites and that is fine. He will ride them whether they are playing good or not and that is absolutely the wrong idea and game plan. In a elimination tourny you gotta play who is playing well and not your personal favorites. His quote summed it up perfectly, the guy acknowledged the entire line wasnt playing well but he found MORE ice time for Nash (hasn`t accomplished anything in his career) and Crosby, but benched Iginla. If nobody can see that they have absolutely no clue in what they are watching, PERIOD!

I really think you guys are missing the boat...what he means he doesnt need Iggy to score goals. Iggy is there to accept another role, if you look at all the world junior teams players who are leading scorers in either there leagues or there teams have had to adapt to different roles. I think we have been very sucessful.

If they wanted pure goal scoring there are alot of other players who would have been chosen. I think you guys are over reacting.

Do you really think he is just that stupid to not play iggy; I am sure he is looking for or at something for the stretch run. In this tournament there is no time for chemistry; so as a coach you have to get creative and try different players in different situations; and make on the fly decisions.

Relax everyone.
