I don't recall saying that Iginla is awful when he plays with 2nd or 3rd liners. The fact is that every player, not just Iginla, will find a higher level of success when teamed up with top notch players.

If that was the case, then, why aren't we seeing Nash, Richards, Toews, or Staal get the goals that Iggy has gotten? Iggy's a born natural power forward who can score goals. I really don't understand why Babcock is still experimenting with the first line combo when he knows that the Crosby Nash and Iggy's line works. Sure the Sharks line works as well, but look at the amount of goals scored for Iggy with the amount of time he has as compared to the one single line alone.
So, my final word is, if Canada wants to go to the final game, they need Iggy playing regularly on the first line and I hate to say this, but they also need Luongo playing in net all the way.
