Everyone starts off "inexperienced"" As I mentioned earlier, Before Brodeur won his first stanley cup, I guarantee he was questioned the same way. Luongo is more than capable of upping his game, and aside from one game "Game 6 chicago " Hes been terrific in high pressure situations.
If we were to go based solely on experience, i know alot of people would question Iginla. They would be more inclined to take a guy like Brad Richards who has won a conn smythe. Yea, Iginla is a great player, and i think he absolutely deserves to be there, but at the end of the day, the stats show he has a history of being on losing teams. (Aside from the one run, where he rode a hot goalie who is equally inexperienced) Hes consistently found himself unable to lead his team out of round one.
Both players will be just fine, and absolutely deserve to be playing.
