I've said it before, but why are all these supposed professionals waiting for Iggy to be stripped of the C to step up? If the Flames have a leader in the dressing room better than Iginla why hasn't he shown himself? Is he scared?
The C means nothing. Iginla got the C because he clearly became the best and most depended on player on the team. When someone else does that, they'll get the C. Iggy will probably give it to them himself.

Didnt say he needs to take over games. Didnt say he needs to fight every night, or even score like he used to. As the captain, it absolutely is his, as well as the coach's job, to spark the team.
