I mean at the end of the day, non of us really know for sure, and I guess it's conceivable that he doesn't give a **** and just collects a pay cheque. But when I watch his body language in bad games, he looks like he's angry and dissapointed beyond belief. have you ever watched him when the camera shows him on the bench near the end of a game? Seriously, he looks like nothing bothers him more in the word than to lose in a bad way. It's not the body language of a player who no longer cares.

I think some of our fans are confusing a power forward, who is getting toa stage where he can no longer be a power forward for a lack of care, and it pisses me off so much.

I wanted Iggy to finish his career in Calgary because I thought it was amazing that we had a true loyal leader that wanted to play in one city for his whole career. Our Joe Sakic or Steve Yzerman. There really was a special connection between Iginla and this city, but with the crap he's had to put up with here, I now hope he waives his no trade clause and moves on, because these past couple of years have put a stain on the legacy of Iginla in Calgary, and I'd rather he just move on for his own sake.

The team is crap. I dont want him to go down with the ship. If we actually had a good team with some youngsters coming in so that he could just slide into a lesser role than sure keep him but yea I agree it doesn't look like we have the team in place to make him our Yzerman.
