He's good people.
Also. Imagine if Edmonton fans biggest reason for hating Iggy was the Sheldon Souray play. Asinine.

Re: bolded - yeah not even close to the same type of play. And Iggy was a class act because he obliged Souray 1:1 after that. Even Souray mentioned how much he appreciated that from Iggy.
But the Stempniak discussion aside, I was never a big fan of Ference. To me - he had a good run with the 04 team. Aside from that he had a poor post-lockout season and was average in the season that he got traded to Boston. So apart from the 04 playoffs, I personally didn't see him contributing significantly.
And even for the 04 playoffs - that entire team is going to be golden in our eyes but there are a lot of other guys that I could single out as significant contributors. It's hard to have passengers on a SCF team.
Contributed more than Stempniak- yeah obviously. But two different teams going in two different directions. I doubt Ference could have contributed the same way on the Flames teams over the last few years as he did on some very good teams with them earlier on. He's a legit NHL player - just not someone I would care too much about and have even less respect for because of recent events.
