You are stretching big time here. There would be no goal after review, as all the reviews were inconclusive. Even if that goal was counted, which is a big stretch already, Tampa still could tie the game. Even if the Flames won the Cup, it is very debateble, whether it would be Iginla or Kipper to get Conn Smythe. Iginla just simple didn't win Conn Smythe and Joe Nieuwendyk did. Move on. Using the same methodology I could say that Nieuwendyk was one play (the one that injured his knee in 1991) away from being in the same class, as Sakic and Yzerman.

They also played different roles, nevermind different positions.
