I've watched all of the boston games this year and iginla has been awesome all season... He's been a perfect fit on that line and is actually a big upgrade from Horton. His puck possession, forecheck, and ability to win battles has been a major factor as to why Lucic and Krejci are having one of their best seasons. That line is so dominant that I would put it up against any other line in the NHL right now. Plus I think he's looking a little faster this year.
Honestly, iginla plays the most mistake-free game on that line. Lucic sometimes shoots when he should pass and Krejci does the opposite sometimes. Iginla could easily have 30 goals already this year if those two didn't make mistakes like that but the line for the most part is very, very good. Iginla is making the right plays all the time and is playing a solid 200 foot game again. Very happy for him and I hope he brings home the cup this year.
