Had to record it and watch when we got home from work.
Repeating myself but Iggy was the main reason we invested in ST back in 2002. He was such a special all around player that I had to see his career up close.
I bet so many of all of you like myself just smile and beamed with pride the whole time watching his retirement. Reliving our own personal memories through the speeches.
How impressive was Iggy being reminiscent and downplaying about his roles on the 2002 and 2010 Gold medals. He was absolutely one of the key catalyst's and stat leaders in both of those tournaments and especially the Gold medal game itself.
This is how much class Iggy has he even thanked the enforcers he played with, nobody of his stature takes the grace and time to extend that appreciation to that depth of their past team mates. Iggy didn't even take the credit that the reality was he was his own policeman and he often was an enforcer for others.
Iginla there is no doubt in my mind would have been the legend he was in any era of hockey.
