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.

This actually validates my point. Even with Gio leading they were still unmotivated. Gio's current success has as much to do with him as it does removing the old guard and getting a better group in the room.
