It was the truth. Not sure why any fans would be upset at Iginla making a truthful observation about his new team.

Iginla played a role in the Flames downturn but at the end of the day the ultimate responsibility for the poor state of the franchise falls at the feet of Ken King and the owners. The fact Iginla is gone and the same clowns are running the show simply means that this team is going to fail and embaress themselves with or without Iginla.

As for Iginla signing with the Canucks I would be fine with it. At the end of the day it's a business and in a way King and the Flames owners have it coming for the way they fumbled the team during Jarome's career in Calgary. We can only hope they learned a valuable lesson in how to properly build a Stanley Cup contender but I have a bad feeling they will be looking for more quick fixes.
