The issue is that he's revered as a saint in Calgary. Maybe he was part of the problem maybe he wasn't but you won't get a warm reception opening up that can of worms.
I will say this though; there were many times where we'd give up 2 goals and the entire bench would sulk and give up, including Iginla. It was god damn embarrassing watching a bunch of millionaires sitting there feeling sorry for themselves in a competitive sport with the outcome still to be decided. I'll blame him for what I could see with my own eyes and I remember at least a dozen times yelling at my TV hoping for Iginla to do something besides sit there and pout while they were giving the game away.
Can't imagine Gio would react the same as captain because he never has, I've never seen him give up no matter how bad the momentum had turned
