If he knew better, he would have committed himself to being a better defensive player years ago and we wouldn't be here.
It's frightening that the Flames wanted to continue to build around him.

True that. I'm looking at Jarome more objectively than I have, well, ever. Facts are facts, he is not the same player. And it is partially my fault for expecting something out of him that is no longer in him.
I really thought that if Pittsburgh went out I would be far more upset than I am right now. I still hope that Iggy gets to raise the Cup over his head at least once before he hangs them up, but this result is more acceptable than I expected it to be.

The Bruins are made for the play-offs seems a bit like revisionist history considering they need an epic collapse against a mediocre Leafs team to escape the first round.
I guess if the Bruins win it will be easy to say he made the wrong choice but with the Bruins-Leafs, Chicago-Detroit and Rangers-Capitals series it is easy to see how small things can change the whole play-offs and how fast a team can go to first round disappointments to Stanley Cup finalists.

Stark difference here to me is coaching. The Kings are a banged up club, but they still go out and give 110%, and D. Sutter is brilliant at adjusting in game and eeking the most out of what he has to work with.
DB stand there with that smug look like he's still **** of the walk even when the team is stinking up the joint. Man these Pens really do remind me of the Canucks under Vigneault.

It's not Iggy's fault the Bruins are so dominate.
It's not like the best player on the planet did much of anything

Letang and PK Subban Norris nominees? lol
Ryan Suter better win the award.
Suter, Chara and Keith should have been the nominees. Nominating people because they can put up points (on the PP) is lame when they aren't that good in their own zone.

In Bylsma's defense it wasn't like he had a bunch of hot players ready to take over and showing him they could do better.

You can't control how others think or feel. If they wanted Iggy and the Pens to lose then that's their opinion. If you have a problem with it then just ignore it.

Didn't Karlsson win it last year without having a clue in his own zone?
Although his offensive numbers may have been better (proportionally) than the guys this year.

Letang really IS half the size lol.
Point taken, Chara is unbelievable when he's on his game.

There is a difference between being happy that the Pens lost and being happy that Iginla lost

A player can accrue further injury during the course of the playoffs, and there is no way a player of his caliber is going to elect to sit out.

How can you, though? Whether he is hurt or not, you play the best player in the game in every appropriate situation. If we are going to blame Bylsma for anything this series, it's for not adapting to the general direction of the games.

I just reread the last 5 pages, one person said it looked good on him for backing out of the deal with the Bruins, that's it. Your original comment made it seem like it was a widespread opinion on here.

Boston was up 3-1 in that series. They were the ones who fell apart. No question Toronto had an epic collapse in game 7, but the better team won the series. And Boston never gave up in game 7 which a lot of teams would have done. They faught till the end. 8-1 vs the Rangers/Penguins is dominant.

Most fans are first and foremost Flames fans. If Iggy submits his list and accepts his destiny, nobody questions the end result. When he submitted the list and then further dictated terms, all bets were off. Flames fans can question that decision, love him or hate him.
