For someone who sacrificed his blood, sweat, and tears for the Flames when he could've bolted on us we sure are an ungrateful bunch. Why not cut the guy a little bit of slack? Every other fanbase in the league gives their superstars some room to work with. For some reason on this forum if Iginla isn't netting 60 goals we're criticizing his every play and quite frankly, it's disgusting.
Iginla always has a slow start. And every year he turns it around and plays amazing hockey. This year there's been no training camp, a new coach, new system, and a whole group of new players. He's learning how to best be productive out there. Can you find a little patience in you while he gets his game together?
I am embarrassed for this fan base some times. Think of the message we put out. We're so unsupportive of our superstars let alone our regular players.

The only Canadian fan bases that may be more supportive of their players are probably Edmonton and maybe Ottawa. I would hate to see Iginla or some other Flame get consistently booed by his own fan base like some players in other Canadian cities.
