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.
Talkiing about a brutal post, now you're putting words in my mouth. I've never criticized Iginla by making excuses for his production. He seems to be fitting in with Pittsburgh but for a star player, he isn't playing like a star. Stats aren't the end all and be all of deciding a player's worth.
