I'm going to echo others in saying that it's the Flames crest that is ultimately all that matters going forward. I didn't agree with those that always said that hockey's "strictly business" and that Iginla shouldn't have been granted any special treatment by the organization or fans, as I do think that hockey, being an entertainment business, has an amount of sentimentality built in to it (and part of that sentimentality is the attachment that fans develop to certain players).

That said, now that it's been a couple of weeks, my focus has turned entirely to the exciting new direction in which the Flames are now headed. It was lame to see Iggy go, and he'll always be a lot of people's favourite, but he's now just a dude playing for another team. As much as he brought to this city and team, the excitement and enthusiasm that's being generated over the new young players that we're gearing up to acquire this off-season is far fresher and more engaging than the excitement of watching Iggy's version of the Flames wallow in mediocrity the past few years.

Edit: ...and realizing that the above rant's almost entirely off-topic, it is indeed good to see that the Penguins have received him well, and that he's enjoying his time there so far...
