Basically, I was as hard on Iggy as anyone on this website over the last 2-3 years because I believed the way forward was by moving on. But that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve all the love, accolades, ovations, a jersey retirement and borderline a ####ing statue of him built. He is the greatest Flame ever and potentially the greatest there ever will be. He did a ridiculous amount for the community and team and city and the video might have been slightly too short but the ovation and loudness of the crowd spoke volumes.
I look forward to giving him another standing ovation when the Flames do his jersey retirement but until then I am glad the team made the changes they did, and glad for Iggy that he gets all the respect and accolades he does. He was the best.

Agreed..... same here.......
For those that got hurt by seeing people cheering for Boston/Iginla.... can't believe you spend all that money on tickets only to have your experience spoiled by which side other people cheer for. Really kind of weird.
