Guess that is what happens when you are just there to be one of the guys and are not depended on to be "The Guy" every night.

I think he's still depended on to be "The Guy" in that he is one of the offensive engines for that team... Pittsburgh didn't use him properly like the bruins do. They tried to use iginla as a depth guy too much... He didn't even get top powerplay minutes.
But you're right in that he does not have to be the ONLY guy for boston. That's how the bruins are built... They have so many guys that can be counted on to contribute consistently that no one guy gets the brunt of the pressure.
I think that's what made a loss feel so much worse during the last few years with iginla. I felt bad that he got the blame more than anyone else for every loss. He never deserved that.
