The discussion about the pressure on the '89 team is interesting. Isn't that what makes a leader 'great'; coming through when the pressure is at it's peak?
That always felt like it was missing from the Iginla-led teams, that ability to come through when the pressure was at its greatest. Stumbling down the stretch, stumbling in important games, coming out flat in the playoffs.

To me what I felt was missing was the correct combination of players during that stretch, and that falls on the shoulders of the management teams. Iggy being one of the few bright spots, even during his so called "darker years as captain".
