Nice spin but you said I faulted him for being a family man. It's clear in your post and it's clear I don't have fault with any man prioritizing family first. So you lose that argument but lets look at the other.
He doesn't play any hockey that he doesn't have to. No Worlds, never plays hockey during lockouts and I realize that a lot of players stay home during the lockout even Ryan Smyth devoted a lot of time to the World Championships as with a lot of other elite players over the years. Some players play for the love of the game and some do it as their job. There's nothing wrong with either way however as a selfish fan I prefer my captain to be a guy that lives and breathes hockey.
I stand by my opinion. You call it weak or whatever you want but it's my opinion and at least I have the balls to go against the grain in Iginla's backyard where he can do no wrong. You keep telling yourself that he's a great captain and wants to win the cup bad if that's the way you want to remember your hero. Nothing wrong with that. I expect one of us will be proven wrong come July. I'll be man enough to admit it will you because if he re-signs with the Flames it will be obvious that winning a cup is not a high priority for Iginla.
