Iginla was an amazing captain, and you heard about how hard he worked off the ice, but some games you wouldn't see that work ethic on the ice. That's the only slight I could ever come up with regarding a tremendous human being and hockey player in Jarome Iginla.
With Giordano you see the work ethic every night, and it's a treat to see. It's no secret the city of Calgary loves a hard working hockey team so it's fantastic to see it epitomized in their captain and hopefully contagious throughout the lockerroom until it's embroidered on this franchise.
I think it's been a very successful passing of the captaincy. And boy have we been spoiled here in Calgary.
