Iginla was only 27 at the time and it seemed to have a huge impact on his expectations and tolerance for failure after that. The 03/04 run probably helped make him the player he has become.
I recall before then, Iginla was often knocked for his passiveness after a loss. He would be smiling in post game interviews like nothing happened. It was the kicking of those expectations to the curb that really changed the team for the next several season.
