Diehard Flames fans will face a similar dilemma Wednesday night when Iginla returns with the Los Angeles Kings for what will almost certainly be his final spin at the rink he ruled in for 17 seasons.
While the evening’s focus will revolve around the Flames’ chance to clinch a playoff spot, the Saddledome will be peppered with people in Iginla jerseys hoping for one final chance to salute the most prolific Flames player of all time.
It will most certainly have to be an impromptu moment as Iginla once again rejected the Flames’ request to honour him, as he did his last time through.
