I'm still buzzing from the ceremony. Very happy it was classy and to the point with very little cheese.

I guess there are two things I am thinking about now. The first is that the jersey raising makes his retirement official and Iginla is now a part of Flames history. This makes me a little sad and nostalgic. The second is that something didn't feel right the minute he retired. The best Flame ever was not playing anymore but his number was not in the rafters. Seeing #12 hanging at the Dome makes everything right.
