Pretty much what happened last night. He was at his fiery mouthy competitive best.
He did still make a couple of cherry picking plays but lots of forwards do and sometimes it's by design. As Bingo said, if he's contributing in other ways and plays even a 190 foot game then you can overlook the odd indiscretion where he's past the blue line before the puck clears our crease.
Warrener pretty much said he doesn't think his comments had any direct impact on Iggy and he even went back and listened to what he said to make doubly sure he didn't say anything outlandish. From what he said he pretty much called it like most have he just gets more cred because he's played the game and been in the room. He seemed to really not understand why there was such a todo about what he said and seemed surprised it was such a talking point nationally.
