I just watched the replays, and I changed my mind. He played extremely well, he broke up many transitional plays in all three zones, his board work was excellent, and he probably had 3 good scoring chances, not to mention an assist.

I thought the Iggy/Crosby/Staal line basically became the grind line last night, working the boards down low and wearing the Russians out in their own zone while Getzlaf and Perry stepped up into the scoring role. I think it's tremendous that we can role four lines now who are all capable of doing the role-playing shifts (check, cycle, hit) and then transition to scoring. We're looking very dangerous now and are going to be tought to shut down if the lines keep rolling like that.
