I think people were just so thirsty for any success after such a long era of garbage that we view the Iginla years as a great time even though most teams would consider it a failure.

Interesting how people say it's Iggy's team when it's really Sutter who basically pulled the strings to build the team the way he feels fit. It was always been about the big defence, Kipper, throw in a few second/third line centers for Iggy, and his nepotist coaching staffs he brought in over the years. Maybe people should start throwing Conroy under the bus for abdicating his role to Iggy. It's not his fault to retain captaincy over the years. The Flames organization could've made Regehr as captain as well, but didn't. There are too many times Iggy has put the whole team on his shoulds, yet he still gets the brunt of it from the fans.
