I don't think there is anyone that can give you hard evidence that was not directly in that room. However, for those wanting to remember Iggy for the good times, it is worthwhile to take a trip down memory lane on fan sentiment toward the end:

Also: google "a room divided + flames" and again you will get some pretty clear fan sentiment on the subject. Are all the opinions and inferences in the various threads true - definitely not, but I do believe this is a "smoke/fire" thing and that our youth will not necessarily benefit from having him here.

For me personally, I have moved on from the Iginla years. I remember the good times and what a great fan experience it was to watch him take over games when there was not much else to cheer about on this team. I recognize that there were dark times also, but I had chosen to forget about those until this thread came up. To answer your earlier point, this is not about tarnishing a good mans name, Iginla was a great leader, player and ambassador to the community during his prime. I will never dispute that. However, it wasn't all roses when he was here either, especially toward the end.
