Glencross did play with Iginla plenty during his better scoring years. It wasn't a "set line" but it was still a combination we saw often and it benefited Glencross. No one he's been playing with lately gets that kind of volume up or shifts defenses like that other than Monahan, who's been on a different line for a long while.

I really don't see how Iginla being a shooter stops him from getting assists. You don't need to be a razzle dazzle playmaker to benefit a guy like Glencross.

But speaking of condescending...
Regardless, the point you made is incorrect.

There's 0 correlation between him being disinterested and Iginla being on the team. I Can't believe you drew the conclusion that he's not scoring because Iginla isn't on his line. And it's false that he spent lots of time with Iginla, but whatever fits your narrative. Even if he did, that doesn't change the fact that Iginla isn't a passer. Glencross always had the ability to score, it didn't matter who he was playing with..

His style of game has changed and I think most CPers will agree with that. He's not the gritty power forward we all knew and loved. Do you still see Glencross taking stupid penalties every game? No, because he's not the same feisty player anymore. It's nice not to have those penalties now, but it's because he's not as engaged or physical in the game as he used to be.

Oh and yes, I make a point to answer a condescending post with even more condescension. Strong believer in the eye-for-an-eye policy.
