I worded wrong. I was mentioning what I felt was the reason Iggy went at Phaneuf. At 0:49 in the clip, you have Iggy in the middle of 3 Leafs players and Phaneuf coming from Iggy's right side. Phaneuf hit air when Iggy stood straight up meaning the point of contact would be close to his head (or we can argue shoulder and I'll concede I was wrong).
Perhaps Iggy was pissed off it was too close to his head for comfort?

This article even mentions it was an "elevated but acceptable open ice shoulder check". Just saying it might have been too close for comfort and Iggy took exception to that?
Could be pure heat of the moment stuff too. No way to know unless Iggy gives an explanation.
