There was a period of time Iginla was the best player in the world. I'm not sure when the next Calgary Flames player will be able to hold that title, could be a very very long time before we see it again.
I still feel there is an inferiority complex in Calgary that keeps people second guessing how good things were with Iginla, but there will come a time that people will reminisce about #12 and how amazing he was for this team.
But I guess when you're a fan of an organization that, let's face it, has been a losing organization since 1989, you tend to let the dark cloud of failure taint your entire perspective on the organization and the players in it.

And it extends back to the Flames SC team..... No Flames seem to ever have been that good compared to the other teams players.
And take out the goals.....and point stats. Not many players have ever carried a team like Iginla did in 2004.
There is no one in the last 10 years that has been totally counted on to carry their team as we expected from Iginla.
