Also why the hate for comments on a former teammate.
He's entitled to his opinion, I just don't understand the timing or purpose of this very derogatory article. Is there some long standing hidden envy that has prompted it? Is this what a former team member, buddy, friend, whatever would do? Or is he reveling in glee over what he perceives to be Iginla's decline? It just smells mean and nasty and oddly timed.
Maybe he's just doing his job, which is to offer candid insight into NHL players. He certainly knows more about what makes Iginla and the Flames locker room tick than any fans do. If he was worried about hurting feelings, he wouldn't be very good at his job.
