This is a brutal post...he's playing well... His points have been a big help to the Pens this far...call them what you want.
Personally, I find it annoying when people make lame excuses to disregard he proof of results...
"His stats are over-inflated because he gets so much ice time on a brutal team"
"His stats are lower than they would be because he has no one to play with on such a crappy team"
"It's because he doesn't go up against top competition" ... "It's because he always up against the other teams top line"
Whatever.
In this case, Iginla is contributing probably right where the Pens were hoping he would... Great example of a success deadline rental.
