@agonizedfever And the best centre Iginla has ever played with is CRAIG CONROY. That's pretty sad.
I love Iginla but I wish they'd trade him to a contender because his chances of winning one with the ever mediocre Flames are slim and none. If he were playing in New York, Philly, Boston, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago his name would be on billboards.
this is what i love about hockey. no matter how bitter and passionate we are about our rivalries (and boy are we passionate) we all recognize real respect amongst great players.
Other teams would only be so lucky to have a player like Iggy represent their city and their team...I've never seen a classier gesture and to think between two bitter rivals..Iggy is just on a whole different level on the ice and off!
You know, if I can't have a cup ring for Trevor, dammit, I'm rooting for Jarome. Sure, he can win one after Luongo parades it down Robson Street, but hockey is more than goals and assists and hits. It's about character and hard work and never giving up
Classy move by the unclassy Flames. :p Man, I love Linden. Has even made it official yet? I wish he's play one more year. They don't make players like him anymore.
What a fitting tribute to one of the greatest players Vancouver has seen. He was my favourite from the time he was drafted, and will remain so in the years to come. Trevor wasn't just a Canuck - he *was* the Canucks.
I also want to comment on the humility of these two guys. Linden tells Iginla "You're the best player in the game" on a night that is meant for him. And for those of you who watched the post game show on CBC when asked what Linden said to him as they shook hands Jarome responded "That's personal, between me and him" How can you not love both these guys. Class acts all around.
Even if you put ability and statistics aside. Jarome and Trevor are two of the great PEOPLE in hockey. Nice to see the flames giving Captain Canuck the respectful exit he returns. I promise not to trash the Canucks until the puck drops on the 2008-2009 season. Well promise is a strong word, I'll try...
As a Flames fan I've always hated the Canucks due to some of the playoff wars they've been in, especially after that intense '04 series. But I've always liked Captain Canuck.
i respect nasland but i hope the canucks will get a captain like iginla. a good ol canadian captain with grit, toughness, skills, leadership and determination to carry the team when they need it most. most champions in the recent years had this. sakic, yzerman, niedermayer, stevens. gonna miss #16 a lot
Jarome Iginla represents a part of the game that is sadly lacking in most players in the NHL. They talk respect, but few guys like Iginla, Linden, Sakic, Yzerman, etc. actually walk (skate) it.
yea I hate the flames more than most teams in the NHL but what a classy gesture by them, especially iginla. thank you Trevor... my favourite athlete of all time!
Iginla you r a man of many talents! Congrats on goal 500
