Yeah, you probably are concerned with the stats and just pick the crap out of him for nothing. If you watched the games and watched the plays, you'd know that at least one of the goals that was scored against his line was due to a cough up by Gaborik on Saturday in the offensive zone. For the first two periods, the Kings defensive play against the Nucks were pretty bad. Iggy played a simple game that night - was a beast when he rammed the opposition into the boards (thought it was a legit hit but was called for boarding) and he was effective along the boards and goes straight to the front of the net. Not sure what more any coach can ask for in a player.
If you watched Iggy on that line with Kopitar and Gaborik, the guy still has frickin a lot of juice still left in him. Not sure WTF people are complaining about. Did you watch him score that goal in OT against the Preds in OT? What a beaut! That's why Sutter puts Iggy on that 4-3 in OT!
