You guys are really unbelievable. By the end of the Olympics, if this thread keeps going, Iggy will be interchangeable with Orr, Messier, Howe and Gretzky...
For all we know, the only reason Iginla was even chosen was because he is one of (if not the) most respected players in the NHL, to provide leadership, etc. Iggy has had one good month this season, so on form he could have been left off the team. So, when Babcock says Iggy is not there to score goals he pretty much confirms that - if Yzerman & Co wanted a player for pure scoring in that spot they would have taken Stamkos, maybe St. Louis or Carter. Obviously, they picked Iggy in a grinder/veteran role. Is that a mistake? Perhaps, but you guys wailing about Babcock is completely misguided.
