Still upset the Big Bad Bruins Beat your Baby Boy canucks?

I think there's been like one game where Rask hasn't been on the 3 star list. (I know it's more but one I can think of)

If Iggy catches fire and starts putting a bunch of goals away, he will get into consideration for the replacement of Stamkos. He has to start scoring at a goal per game though.

I thought there was some giant kid from Austria that was an NCAA FA last year?

Note that he crashed into his own net. That's what he gets for back checking! See, Nail, the press box is more comfortable than a hospital bed.

unfortunately not. No promising young Austrians on the horizon right now ...

I'd love to see it too, but Iginla is not going to be on the Olympic team. He is looking like a very good fit in Boston though.

Wow looking at the highlights of that game and really the last few games I think Iggy, if he keeps it up, will make it very hard for Hockey Canada to pass on him. He brings so many intangibles to a team and he's proving that he can play under a different role as a supporting piece and still put up respectable numbers. We are going into the stretch of NHL hockey that always brought out beast mode in Iggy for whatever reason, I wanna see him push to make this team and I think he wants to very badly make it as well. Four Olympic teams in a career would be quite the feat.

How many is that for his career now? 300? 400?

I for one will only cheer for team canada if iginla is on the team (yes, I am that much of an iginla fan boy). He has been a huge part of both gold medals canada has won and he doesn't seem slow out there at all watching him. If stamkos is hurt for a long period of time... iginla should be on the team. But stamkos or not... this country owes it to iginla to give him the chance to be the only hockey player in history with 3 gold medals.

That really came off poorly, especially given what day it is.

Maybe just being hyper-sensitive here, but sheesh. That's offensive, and its embarrassing to think that you might be a Canadian citizen.

Iggy didn't even get a summer camp invite, its HIGHLY unlikely he will be on the team

Didn't mean to offend anyone... Obviously I not trying to disrespect veterans on Remembrance Day. I can see how my comment could be taken that way. Sorry.

I am just trying to say that I think the team canada management should respect what iginla has contributed to those 2 gold medals and appreciate what he can still contribute. I've watched every bruins game this year and he has been a force every night... He may not have as many points as Lucic and Krejci but anyone that has been watching these games can see that he has been a factor in every goal that the line has scored. He honestly looks like he did 5 years ago... Especially with his speed and grit.

I don't expect him make the team cause I don't think Babcock is a big fan of his... It was evident in how he used iginla in the last Olympics. I really think he should have gotten an invite to the training camp at least. That was a major snub for a guy that helped save team canada from disaster in 2010 and scored 2 goals in the gold medal game of 2002.

I still stand by my comment that I will not cheer for team canada if iginla is not on the team. I know lots of you don't agree and I can understand why. It's not like it's going to be easy for me to cheer for Switzerland over Canada - but I am a flames fan first... Team canada fan 2nd. I know he's not on the roster anymore but he will always be a Calgary flame to the fans here. Team canada is going to deny him the chance to be the only hockey player ever to have 3 gold medals.

I hope he starts lighting it up and makes Yzerman consider him for the team... But even if he does, I think Babcock will convince Yzerman not to bring iginla.
