As much as I loved Iginla and Tanguay when they were Calgary Flames, I'm honestly happy to see their 'leadership style' (whether they have letters on their chest or not) translating onto yet another team who's underachieving. These 2 guys aren't winners, plain and simple, and the Avs were likely better off without both of them.
That being said, I hope the 'new era' Flames show those 'has-beens' in Colorado what it takes to win, and out work the Avs to a painful death tonight. I'd even like to see a little bit of jealousy and envy creep across the faces of Iginla and Tanguay as they watch our Flames bench, who are clearly unified as a team, and wonder what might have been if they had different attitudes/leadership styles during their time in Calgary.
Flames win 4 - 2
