A lot of if is the arena atmosphere I think. It's pretty weak in there.

[Machiavelli]

Yes, taking Iginla off the top line is really what turned this game around....

[mikephoen]

FU Healy you ######. It was already 3-1 when they moved Iginla back to Malkin's line.

[baerfan]

I almost forgot how annoying it was to watch the HNIC feed

[The Yen Man]

The way the CBC guys are going, you would think Iginla is a -4 and taken 3 stupid penalties or something. I think Crosby has been worse than Iggy, not sure why they are just targeting Iginla with all the criticism.

That blonde is from Calgary. I've seen her at Cowboys, I swear.

Calgary Puck, where Iginla still plays like crap, but because he isn't a Flame he is "playing pretty good" and puts himself into "perfect ice".

[troutman]

Fleury is done in PITT.

[Free Ben Hur!]

I'd say Karlsson is hurt based on that replay.

[zamler]

Not sure if the Pens are hardly trying or just not very good.

Perhaps, but I'm betting we see a horrible game from Vokoun, followed by a switch, then a couple solid Fleury games with an inevitable Flower meltdown before this postseason is over.

[Samiz]

CBC took every jab they could at Iginla. Very disgraceful

Don't understand posters who diss CP and its members as a whole. Don't like it? Then why are you here?

"Iginla was holding that line back?"
"Iginla being taken off the first line is what sparked the Penguins"
"Haven't heard the name Iginla in this game for a while"
"Iginla hasn't been very effective"

Some of the things he said. Didn't say a whole lot about the countless giveaways in the defensive zone or the inability to gain the offensive zone but makes sure to bash Iginla on every chance.

Because he wants to scream "look at me! look at me!".

If Pitt plays for more than 10-15 minutes in this game it's 7-1.

[Loyal and True]

Iginla did not have a great game, but far from a bad game (stfu CBC!). Pittsburgh never trailed. Never had to put their game into high gear. Game was quite boring. If anything brought Crosby down, it was the ease of the victory.

It's early, but Penguins appear too deep and talented. They will get their fair share of chances, and with their scoring depth they will convert plenty. The percentages and odds are heavily in their favour.

If Ottawa wants to level the odds, the burden is on them to dominate the play physically, and play with more energy and emotion. Islanders did a semi-good job of that in a few games, thanks in part to the energy from their loud and boisterous home crowd.

[killer_carlson]

Iginla has a point in every playoff game thus far. Id say he is doing just fine.

Did you just bet the house on the Sens tonight or something?

Every post has either dumped on Iginla or says the Sens were the better team.

The Pens won the game by 3 goals. It wasnt close. Iginla made a nice play on his assist.

Take a break man and come back tomorrow.
