Actually Iggy was a huge pet peave of mine. LOL I think for 1 player to have that much influence/control/admiration on 1 team screwed us for many years. We juggled lines that were successful to get Iggy going. Iggy would not play defense. He was a good powerforward before our good Stanley run, then he tried to "remake" himself into a sniper less physical. He put up good numbers because of his exceptional play time despite struggles. He was given more leash than any other player in Flames history. I'm glad you guys were moaning when I wasn't here. It is unusual though, normally you guys follow the party line when it comes to what the GM thinks or what the Hockey Operations guy thinks.
