The man was absolutely dominant, a great leader, and robbed of a Hart Trophy. One of the great Canadians to ever lace up the skates.

Absolutely. And he rarely gets mentioned on the golden goal of 2010. Iggy won a battle against two players in the corner to get the puck to Crosby. One of the biggest moments in Canadian sports history and Iggy was the beast in the corner that made it happen. Crosby should praise him every time he’s ever asked about that gold medal for the rest of his life. All of us should.
