Exactly ...
I got blasted pretty good for saying the same thing after Monday's game on this site, so it was good to see I wasn't alone.
I like Iginla, I think he's a good guy. He's been a warrior for the Flames. But he has one of the biggest gaps between being on and off of any player I've seen wear a Flames jersey since maybe Kent Nilsson.
That just isn't acceptable when you're a captain.
I have my head fully around the idea that he isn't 25 any more, and I expect and have no problem with a decline.
But when you don't seem to care about defensive coverage, you stop skating when you get the puck, and you lose every single battle including the turn over that leads to Minnesota's only goal?
You're not showing up.
He's better than that, and last night it looks like he was angry enough to prove it.
Hope Warrener rides him all season.
