I don't fault him for that at all.
Well if you're bitter you're bitter but you're seriously are grated by Flames fans wishing one of the most prolific players in franchise history gets a cup?
I personally don't think there's any point in hoping he'll come back in a few years as no one knows what he or the team will look like at that point... but I can't see how anyone who's a Flames fan can look at his career here and not wish him the best. Seems odd. But to each their own.

I just have never cared for guys that chase the cup in their later years. It drove me crazy when Bourque went to the Avs - played 2 seasons - got his cup and then they retired his frickin number.
I think what is great about sports is that not every player gets a cup. Great players miss out.
I admit I really enjoyed watching Regehr get his - he was a guy that I always liked and I thought he was bang on when he was pushing the team to play a certain way.
I wouldn't be upset if Iginla wins his cup. But I wouldn't really celebrate it either.
