Default Iginla soaks up Pens’ atmosphere

Jarome Iginla walked his kids down a hallway lined by large photographs of Penguins players, ranging from captain Sidney Crosby to fourth-line center Joe Vitale.

“We were just looking at the pictures on the way, and I’m, like, ‘Oh, my gosh, we’re already up there,’ ” Iginla said, referring to the framed photograph of him in a black Penguins home jersey. “I thought that was a pretty neat touch, to already be a part of it.

“They got my kids jerseys with my number (12) and name on the back, and stuffed animals — and my kids were so pumped,” Iginla said. “They were wearing those jerseys around everywhere, and they had hats. Now we’re full Penguins fans.”
Nice to hear the Pen's organization is making the transition easy for his kids and family. Not that I thought they wouldn't, it's clear they want to keep Iginla, but it's a nice story.
