Sutter should put Iggy on the fourth line for a few shifts.
he does...whenever The McGrattan Effect (TM) is unleashed, and then spends 5 mins in the box
Bergeron IMO is a good 13th forward on this team. Plays PK, an get throw in as a Winger or Centre, is likely to end up injured and sitting as a surplus forward...
but what I think is funny is everyone being mad at McKenzie for saying Iginla was going to be on the 4th line today
It was like in the 2 weeks before the team was selected, a bunch of people here were bitching and moaning about Dreger and McKenzie being idiots for not having Bouwmeester or Phaneuf on the team
They are reporting stuff, they do not make the decisions
Well....I don't think it was everybody....most of us realized that he did start on the 4th line.....put yourself on trollhold for a couple weeks

Canucks fans are probably excited about they have the opportunity to cheer (for the first time since the last olympics) for a true leader and franchise player (Iginla). Most from vancouver consider it a rare opportunity.
I think the Olympics are showing that the Flames are misusing Iggy. He should not be getting head-manned the puck, he doesn't need to play with Crosby but he needs to someone else to carry the puck and let him be the trailer.
Why is that a "horrible stat" to use? Especially considering that the other 4-point player from that game is now retired. Without question Joe Sakic was Canada's 2002 gold medal game MVP, but Iginla's contribution to that line and that game was MASSIVE.
Just for the sake of accuracy, Iginla only had one assist, so three points.

Fair enough.
I believe after tonight's game that Jarome Iginla has 10 goals for Canada in his Olympic career. Is there another player that is even close to that total?

Iggy did GREAT tonight....but not so good against Americans or Suiss?
Real test will be tomorrow against Russia, and remember U.S.A is undefeated and has probably best Goalie in tournament....and Sweden is not far behind...another great team with great goaltending.
They will have their work cut out for them but if they win Gold it should help number 12 when he gets back to NHL.

Yeah when Iggy trails the puck, good things happen. Especially when he is wide open for a one-timer
