Hey all,
Just wanted to share a link to an article I came across while browsing NHL.com. Focuses mostly on how Iginla's doing this year in Boston compared to last year in Pittsburgh. Didn't see it posted anywhere here...thought it might be an interesting read for those still keeping tabs on him.

While the Pittsburgh Penguins will get a taste of what they once had Wednesday night at Consol Energy Center, the Boston Bruins will get a chance to showcase what they do have now.
Jarome Iginla.
The Penguins won the Iginla trade sweepstakes last season as the former Calgary Flames captain was more enticed about the opportunity to play with Sidney Crosby than he was with David Krejci. Iginla famously invoked the clause in his contract that allowed him to choose where he would be traded and he spurned the Bruins for a shot at winning the Stanley Cup with the Penguins.
That part obviously didn't work out.
...
Iginla's production through 10 games this season is similar to what he gave the Penguins last season. He has eight points on two goals and six assists. He seems comfortable and is developing chemistry with Krejci and Milan Lucic, who played the past several seasons with Nathan Horton.
"I think it's fairly obvious that he's a consistent player," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "When you look at his first 10 games, you see him every game. You know we liked [Horton] and he's a highly skilled player, but we also know that he had his fair share of ups and downs. Some games he'd be really good, some other games he wouldn't have much of an impact. We're getting consistency out of Jarome."
