So Iggy's to blame for being unable to lead a team of bad/average players to the promise land?

Iginla is why the team didn't develop a single good NHL player during his tenure as a Calgary Flame. Iginla is why we had two average/above average centres during his entire 16 year career here?

It was all because Iginla was an offensive player who was utterly elite for a good chunk of time, and because he couldn't carry the team up front entirely by himself for his entire 16 years, he is to blame for all shortcomings.

Iggy fostered the losing culture and it had nothing to do with the years of #1 centre David Moss. #1 LW Nigel Dawes. The wasted years under head coach Brent Sutter (...who hasn't seen a glimpse of the NHL since coaching here), the abysmal management of Darryl Sutter and Jay Feaster.

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous to watch fans of this team turn on a player of Iginla's quality. Iggy didn't let this organization down, not for one single day.
