It only leads to more goons, more violence, and more injuries.
Of course, if the NHL had shown some balls and suspended Matt Cooke for the Savard hit, none of this happens.

Agreed. Rivalries aside, the Bruins are probably the least likeable team in the NHL, and that's even with Iginla on the roster to make them about 50% less unlikeable than they'd otherwise be.
I can never root against Iginla, but I'd have some real mixed emotions if they were to win the Cup this year.
