As a side note:
I'm surprised that Gretzky only had 91 GWGs in his career. Iginla is the Flames' franchise leader with 83. Add in his one GWG with Pittsburgh and 6 (wow) with Boston, and Iggy is only one GWG behind Gretzky in their careers.
Also...Ron Francis, over a PPG player and almost 1,800 career points, but still a career -10.

The less depth that a team has the more that a player will have a greater opportunity to score a game winning goal. The Flames for a long time were effectively a team that had the entire offense centered around Iginla with little in the way of a supporting cast. The Oilers of Gretzky's era obviously had a much better supporting cast with multiple Hall of Fame players.
