Just another example of Iggy having the full weight of the franchise on his shoulders. Between '06-'12 he was a Hart nominee, scored 50 goals and broke several Flames' franchise records. Yes he took some responsibility for the team's failings. But it hardly rests ''squarely on his shoulders''.
Iggy was often in the talk for best player in the world during his prime. 3 time Hart nominee, 2x Rocket winner, Art Ross winner, King Clancy and Ted Lindsey winner.
Years from now when the dust has settled and the current roster is long retired, I think we'll all look back and see Iginla as the best captain we ever had.
