I really thought that was a great press conference, Flames did a great job and I really see no way you cannot retire the #12. He just did things, at an elite level that not too many other players did, a true throwback in the greatest sense of the term. He was, hell, still a beaut.
I thought long and hard about Iggy coming back and deep down I think the Flames made the right decision. Hindsight would agree with that as well, disaster of a season and I don't think he would have fit in well. Would have been nice to see that patented one-timer of single skate wrist shot one more time though.
