Don't even try mixing me in with the coward comment.
If his primary focus in life is his family and not his career, well yeah, in relation to other players, he doesn't give a crap. That's why younger players tend to be more hungrier than older ones....they don't have families to shift their priorities away from the job.
If Iginla is so adamant about staying (and that's an if still of course), I couldn't help but question his desire to win. If he doesn't even want to sacrifice 3 piddly months living somewhere else for getting the one thing that is missing in his career, well, then yeah, he doesn't give a crap. There are no guarantees that he will win a cup anywhere else... but it's sure as hell a guarantee that he won't win one here.
The family excuse is such bull####, and it trivializes actual people who have had to make huge sacrifices in their life. Iginla has the means to bring his entire family and have them live in absolutely luxury. Living in some Boston penthouse for 3 months is not a sacrifice....most people would absolutely jump at that kind of opportunity.
