It is really funny that you say this as before the OT goal, I was cursing Iggy for not going down low and helping Brodie out to gain the puck. He was pretty much just standing there and waiting to go on the offense. It did work this time but he needs to commit and help his team win those battles. I guess though that could leave his d-man open.
Brodie won the board battle and, by skating to the front of the net, opened up a lane for Iggy. Really amazing play on Brodie’s part.
