I like Iginla and appreciate what he's done for the Flames... but some stuff about how Blysma is failing Iginla (just like Babcock failed to coach Iginla in the Olympics, or Brent failed Iginla, etc).... really Iginla was a dominant player in his prime, but the past few years he has really declined. The fact that he became more of a one-dimensional player didn't help his cause either, whereas in his prime he would go back into his own zone and get the puck and start a play; he's waiting for the puck more. He used to be a bull in a China shop, but hasn't been that since 2007 and the past 3 years or so, looked weak on the puck. The past year is where he really seemed to lose speed. Players decline with age, it is what it is.....
