The guy wasn't even there for two days before he was telling reporters that the Penguins were the model team and had such a winning atmosphere and great tradition. I guess Iggy forgot he was largely responsible for the development of the attitude and atmosphere in the dressing room. Making such comments in such a short period of time is a direct shot at the Flames organization. It would be like spending two days in a new city and then proclaiming it to be the best city in the world. How the hell would you know one way or the other when you have such limited experience in that city? How the hell would Iginla know anything about how the Penguins were run with less than two days of experience with the team?
Iginla is not at fault for the short comings of management, but there is more than enough problems to laid at his feet when it comes to the culture of the hockey club and how it developed over the past decade. He shouldn't be out there shooting his mouth off about how great it is on another team when he was the leader of the club he just left and where things were obviously not so prime. I see Iginla's comments no different than those of a C-level employee leaving a company then saying how poor the culture of the enterprise was. He was in a position of leadership and establishing cultural norms. Don't bitch about it once you leave when you were in a position to establish those norms.
