Post game comments from Iggy....

"It was definitely emotional. It was a cool feeling," Iginla said. "It felt special, the ovation there at the start and then you kind of feel funny standing out there."

Iginla's short lap onto the ice after he was named third star of the game turned into two longer ones. His Bruins teammates blocked the bench to make him stay on the ice longer and soak up the adulation.

"The guys came out and wouldn't let me off the ice," Iginla said. "I went for one little loop and they were like 'no, no, you've got to go one more' and they made me go one more, too.

"That was fun and it was nice of the fans. They probably wanted me off the ice by then, too."

"You don't really know what the response is going to be," Iginla said. "People were great and they made it very special for myself and for my mom — I haven't talked to her yet — and my dad.

"It's pretty cool and it's humbling and people are cheering and it's pretty special. They made me good. It did make me feel good seeing some signs that said 'miss you' and all the 12 jerseys."

"It was more than I could have hoped for and honestly, coming back, part of you is looking forward to it and then you just want to get through it," Iginla said. "I didn't have a lot of feelings of just trying to get through it.

"I really enjoyed it all."
