There is of course the odd exception to the rule, and usually these are guys in the twilight of their years who still have some value- but in the end, you still have to make a living and the man might not want to play there. Best to leave perfect living arrangements when the guy retires at 40 or earlier (gasp) Also, his family owes their fortunes to the Flames and their fans.

Wow, that is awfully chauvinistic of you. I honestly don't think that Iginla is an elite player anymore and won't push the Canucks over the top by any stretch, but your comment is ridiculously sexist. The woman should blindly follow the man because he makes more money and she has no input whatsoever because it may offend the sensibilities of some fans in Calgary?
I think that the fans put more emphasis on the rivalry than the actual players do.
