Not kidding.
We've all seen Iginla pick up his play and dominate when he gets ticked off, which wasn't often. Fleury played like that almost all the time. Looking back on it, I think Iginla's easygoing attitude (most of the time - and particularly now he's older) prevented him from being the force he could be as regularly as he could have been it. The last few seasons particularly he's looked like his passion level has just been low.
Not knocking the guy - nobody's perfect, and it's not like Fleury's fire didn't come with (and from) some significant baggage.
