No he isnt. Iginla is not earning 1st line icetime. I know he took it for granted in Calgary, but Iginla has not been playing well, this is a coach telling his player to earn it.

Obviously the bigger guns have to step up too, or this series will be over in four.

I was noticing this too, hes getting his stick lifted, hes getting moved too easily and hes getting outmuscled and outworked.
He is too used to being on the periphery of the play while other guys do the hard work digging the puck out of the corner to him and he calmly snaps it in. You're exactly right, hes not physically engaged, but he isnt mentally engaged either, he looks like he doesnt know where hes supposed to be.
