Been watching more coverage since getting home from work. Really starting to sink in now. This may be the only time a sports transaction has impacted me this much. Iginla is the best Flame of all time and I don't think we'll see another player with his combination of ability, class, integrity and longevity again. #12 is instantly retired in Calgary.
