Wtf does the guy have to do to get any respect?

The guy has my respect! Geez its like talking to wall with some of you. Personally I thought he could have played a lot better and I know he has another gear. So forgive me for holding our best player and one of the best in the world to a higher standard!

For what it's worth the Olympic hockey panel unanimously agrees that Iggy should be with Sid on the top line with a different winger.

All of them were scratching there heads when the question of why Iggy was moved came up when it was apparent he was not hurt.

Guess us "fanatical" Flames fans aren't the only ones.

I've seen lots of highlights and panelists on the olympics so far, when have they mentioned Iggy once since the start of the Swiss game? I have noticed them going out of their way to skirt the issue so far.

Has anybody been listening to the Fan? Have they weighed in on it at all?

Was on a couple of hours ago (moments before I posted it). Bob and the rest of the usual group (don't know there names by heart) had a 5 minute talk about the team, one of the hot topics as I mentioned was them scratching there heads at the coaching staffs decisions, mainly Iggy off the top line while Nash remained on.

Was nice to see some media pay attention to it as well.

Well f*** me, Kypreos just said Babcock mismanaged his lines, and then later went onto say Iginla should be playing with Crosby and Nash. Count me as surprised.

When it's time to play against the Americans, they better use what has been working instead ><

Someone explain to me how a hat trick on one line wasn't a spark, or chemistry or whatever. For the love of god, someone please explain it to me. After you win 8-0, why would they change the lineup, someone, please, before I shoot something.

I saw it on Sportsnet Pacific less than an hour ago. They all seemed to agree that Iggy was 'fine' on Sid's right and that he should get a chance there again.

Fine? Why aren't they saying holy crap, he got a hat trick in the Olympics followed by him getting handcuffed to Crosby? This is frustrating the hell out of me.

Iginla sucks. Trade him for some picks before he drags Canada down!!

I might have unintentionally downplayed how they really felt. I had the TV sound down a bit.

But they did seem really confused about Iggy being off that line. They'd established that he WASN'T hurt in that second-period collision, showed all the Crosby-line combinations used thus far (there's only like four) and thought Iggy was the best fit.

Let's just hope Babs tries it again.
