Give me a break. Some of you guys are so out to lunch when it comes to Bouwmeester it's not even funny. Guess Iginla is a career loser too since he hasn't won at the NHL level.

Iginla's had some of the best games of his career in the biggest moments of his career. Game 7 against Vancouver, Game 6 against Detroit, Game 6 against San Jose, Game 5 against Tampa Bay, Gold medal game 2002, Gold medal game 2010, etc.
For his career, Iginla is a 0.84 PPG player, over 81 career playoff games.
Bouwmeester has a history of coming up small when his team absolutely needed him to be their best player. Although to be fair to Bo, he did just have a playoff where his team nearly went to the finals and he averaged 1.4 hits a game! Good for him. He does care. Clearly his reputation is undeserved.
His pass to Jamie Benn in the 2014 Olympics against the US to set up what I believe was the only goal of the game was a nice play.
Jarome Iginla played his best hockey on big stages. Jay Bouwmeester plays his best hockey in November.
