It's so easy to dismiss what I am saying by saying I hate Iginla. Yeah, the guy who owns two different Iginla jerseys separated by 6 years is the guy with an irrational hatred for him. Absurd.
Address the points I made or don't bother responding. Strawman like I believe Iginla caused the decline of the avs or that I need psychiatric help need not apply.
The multi-stanley cup winning coach as a coach and the Stanley cup winning and former multi time nhl captain both said publicly, to the media, that Iginla was a difficult player to coach. His split with Brent Sutter was very public at the time. Darryl Sutter was blunt as hell when he answered the question of why trade for Steve stairs, "veteran leadership."
Our own JiriHrdina even confirmed for us that Iginla hanging out at the opposition blue line was not the instructions given by the coaching staff.
Iginla was enigmatic. in his prime there was no better, but there were also problems with coachability on occasion that detracted from the team which were magnified by his Captain status. That's the entirety of the argument.
