I think Marchment should smack Iginla in the face before every game to get him pumped up. When Iginla is playing with an edge and is angry, he's DOMINANT. The problem is that he hasn't done that enough this year to earn his salary.

Agreed. He's been so damn streaky this year, and as a fan it can get pretty frustrating, considering the amount of money we're paying him. I just hope he can build on a night like tonight and turn it into a hot streak for the stretch drive and into the playoffs. When he gets going, he's one of those rare players who can single-handedly take control of a game. He was really fun to watch tonight.

On a positive note direwolf, we all know the intensity level in the playoffs jumps up and that's where Iginla shines. He'll be great in the playoffs when the games get rough and tough, as evidenced by his DOMINANCE against the Nucks last playoff season.
