I'm still in disbelief the anti-Iginla conversation gets any traction here. Pure garbage.
And to add: How does Jokinen not being good enough becomes Iginla's fault too? Thread took a strange turn.

My sense is that 90% of CP has the view that Iggy was a fantastic player, person and captain while he was here and also that it was time to move on. 5% take the extreme view that he should come back / should have never left and 5% take the extreme view that he was the real problem. The extremes are likely far more vocal than the majority, so I wouldn't read too much into it.
