Iginla in the last few years has made a lot of people forget that - namely when Keenan took over. (I still say that Darryl's worst mistake was his inability to find a decent coach - but that is another argument I would think).

I think people forget how dominant iginla was in his prime... All over the ice. We're talking about when he was in the conversation as the best player in the world (from 2002 to 2007. I remember the announcers and analysts during the Detroit series in 2004 talking about how Detroit was unable to contain him and how he seemed unstoppable all over the ice even against lidstrom in his prime.
