For what it's worth, it seems to line up with the on-ince product.

I can't speak to anything off-ice, but it was pretty clear to me in the Detroit series that the Flames quit on their coach. Threw him under the bus and ran around freelancing. And either Iginla was part of the mutiny, or he wasn't able to stop it. Either way, it doesn't speak to great leadership, or to a strong team culture.
