I think Iginla's kinda getting a bad wrap.

Does he look slow as molasses? Yeah, but he'd old!

He did very well in the Isles series. Then the Pens ran into hot goalies in Anderson/Lehner/Rask...

As a team the Pens haven't really scored goals. Hell I think they are 0 for 12 on the PP this series.

Is this really an Iginla problem or a Crosby/Malkin problem? IMO those guys are the leaders of this team. Iginla is just a spare part nowadays but if nobody else is really doing anything (especially the leaders) I don't think he should be the focus anymore. He's not really that guy anymore...

And I don't think the Pens are as disappointed with him as people are pointing out here. Moreso Crosby and Malkin. They should know what they were getting with Iginla...

I do think Iginla picked the absolute wrong team to go to but rear view is so easy. I think he would have looked and played a lot stronger with the much bigger physical Bruins especially this late in the playoffs. Sad when people are already comparing him to Sundin's attempt to bring a cup, that's not the way he should go out if it happens this way.
