Can you show any proof/interview where he said such a thing? If something does exist, then I'll take back what I said earlier about him not pouting. But you're the 5th or 6th person to say he did these things, and yet I cannot recall a single instant where he publicly 'whined' to anybody, much less gave an interview to the media, and publicly admitted to quitting on the team when Iginla was traded. He was sad like pretty much everyone here was. The only thing I can recall is that it was in fact confirmed he made a trade request his 1st stint with the Flames. But again, he did it privately, without distraction, and played out the entire season. He asked for the trade because he wasn't happy with his role. I'm not sure why that's being held against him. Literally everybody on CP who has ever worked a day in their life has likely felt the same at some point.
But other then the fact that he kind of has the facial features of somebody who might seem sad all the time, what proof is there of any whining, pouting, or quitting on the team that seems so rampant in this thread?
