So....regular season Iggy was a good fit, playoffs, not so good for Krejci?? I know you love DK, and I`ve been more than happy to not be on him in the past 2 seasons for floating his was around for half the regular season but to say he played anywhere near the level he is capable of is just something I can`t agree with.
Much how I feel about Marchand, Lucic, Bergeron, the players this team needs to produce to lift them past other teams didn`t. It`s funny, whenever I watch a broadcast, rarely do I hear the broadcasters speak of any player with the reminder to fans of "but 4 of those goals were empty netters", hey, they all count, off legs, skates or whatever, least he was in front of the bloody net to make it happen.
Iggy looked slow, Iggy struggled to keep up at times, so too did 11 other Bruin forwards at any given time. Iggy wasn`t brought in to be the guy here, he was brought in to finish, and for the year, he did just that more often than not. In the playoffs, I thought he was fine, which isn`t necessarily a fantastic grade.
And now you mention Horton?? I`m sorry, we all loved the clutch scoring during the Cup run, but if you think Horton would have been the guy who raised the level of play of that line I`m going to have to disagree. 99% of the time the guy played with no pulse, and since his concussion(s), I`m not so certain he registered a hit.
Krejci played nowhere near his standards, and he said as much below
David Krejci (zero goals in playoffs): “I didn’t do my job in the playoffs.’’

Still think Krejci looked more like Krejci minus the pts?
