It is sad when some fans get upset when Iginla ever gets criticized or when it is ever suggested that he is not some amazing combination of Brett Hull's goal scoring ability, Gretzky's passing and Messier's leadership.

This forum was on Iginla the moment the puck dropped. There is no rationality behind it. You'd think he was Blake Comeau in an Iginla jersey the way people were posting.
I hope Iginla gets traded. He's done more for this team, this city, than anyone else during his tenure.
If you guys are going to get your panties in a knot over a play like that, I don't know what else to say.
Yeah, losing sucks. But Iginla is 35 years old. I'm sure he's sorry that he's no longer his 27 year old self, who was constantly considered one of the best players in the league, one of the best leaders, the most respected player.
But yeah, it's totally rational to act like this for one mistake in a regular season game.
