Because he is on a good team with a top notch center, a glaring something he has lacked for years. So I expect Iggy will probably in fact have a better year than any Flame, and I could not see Hartley including a remark along those lines.
In fact there is a lot in this make believe piece that I can't picture Hartley saying.
Just a strange topic.
But whatever, it is an internet board. And it is less strange and much better to imagine reading in Hartley's voice than when Darren Dreger wrote a column about hockey that was supposed to be read to the tune of American Pie.

I personally find it funny you felt you had to take the OP to task for "rolling Iginla under the bus" when in your rebuttal out of nowhere you roll Brent Sutter under the bus. The guy that was getting this mediocre group annually within a few points of making the playoffs rather than challenging for a top 5 draft pick. Yeah it's all his fault Iginla is close to 40 and not the player he used to be.
