I've watched every boston game this year and iginla has been a beast for them. It's no coincidence that both Krejci and Lucic are on pace for career seasons... Iggy is a huge upgrade on Horton.
Anyone that's actually watched him this year and not just looked at the stats sheet knows he's constantly winning battles along the boards and has even gained a stride from the past few years. Believe it or not, he's the best forechecker on that line. It's become one of the most dominant lines in the NHL and iggy is a big reason for it. Lucic just tends to shoot sometimes when he should pass and that tends to skew points away from iginla.
