Some fans are content with mediocrity.

We traded Doug Gilmour, Joe Neweindyk, Gary Roberts & Theoren Fleury.

I believe these players were just as good as Iginla.
If all these players played on the Flames as long as Jarome has, I believe they would have come close, equaled, or exceeded Iginla's point totals.

One thing they did do for Calgary is bring a cup back with them from Montreal in 1989.

Sad to say it, but Iginla returned from Tampa Bay empty handed. He was a non-factor in Game 7.
This is exactly the type of immature ridiculous post that irritates me in the Iginla discussion.

Do I really need to point out to you that the 2004 Flames were nowhere near the team the 1989 Flames were? Do you realize that all those players you posted were actually teammates, and they had other HOF caliber players playing with them? That the 2004 Flames would'nt have even been in the finals without Iginla?

You go ahead and be more like a Montreal fan, I hope most of us choose to be more level headed. I bet it would make you really happy to see some "Iginla Sucks" threads.
