The allure of playing with Sidney Crosby was too tempting for Jarome Iginla to pass up.
The former Calgary Flames captain joined Hockey Night in Canada’s Ron MacLean Saturday for an exclusive interview on Inside Hockey to talk about what lured him into joining the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Iginla, who was traded to the Penguins on Wednesday night in exchange for college forwards Kenneth Agostino and Ben Hanowski, along with Pittsburgh’s first-round pick in 2013, revealed Crosby had been courting him to join Pittsburgh, adding he couldn’t say no to playing with two superstars.
“There’s some truth to that,” Iginla said, when MacLean asked if Crosby helped sway his decision. “I did hear that Sid — I didn’t talk to him before — but he’d put in a good word and I really enjoyed playing with him at the Olympics and getting the chance to meet him.
