It's been a bit disappointing to me as watching him is my main reason for following the Pens games. If he wasn't there I'd be cheering for the Isles instead.

You are looking for 2004 Iginla. He no longer exists.
Fact is Iginla will never re-capture that dominating style of play...he's older now. Doesn't mean he isn't contributing a lot.
