I'm just glad the Flames have a culture now where nobody is above criticism.
I suspect Iginla's buddy Sakic had a big say in it. One thing about the former superstar players is once they get into management they seem to have a soft spot for aging stars and the old-boys' club. Just look at the Olympic teams Gretzky put together.
