Iginla should have been relieved of his captain duties after 2 failures in the playoffs. I'm not considering the 04 run as a failure.
The inability of management to keep Iginla in line is eventually one of the many causes that poisoned the tree and led to the downfall of the team.
It's not just a coincidence that the Flames record with Giordano as captain is way above expectations even though he has a very poor supporting cast in terms of experience and skill compared to what Iginla had.
