You're right that nobody but Flames fans will remember it as anything other than "Crosby's goal" but I'll always remember Iginla's part in it as well, and what an awesome Olympics he's had. I really don't want to hear anymore trade Iginla talk, ever.

As I recall the Henderson goal he didn't exactly dance around the Soviet defense. More like he picked his ass out of the ice in the corner and got himself back in front of the net for Espo's pass. I don't mean to diminish Henderson's goal, but it was more heroic than virtuoso as I recall. Henderson's goal is the greatest goal in hockey history for me, but he didn't pull a Bobby Orr on it.
I totally agree about Iggy's contribution to Crosby's goal though.
