For those of us that saw Theo in his prime for those 10+ seasons in Calgary, (besides a few haters here on CP) we know Fleury had more heart in his pinkie finger than Jarome had in his whole body.

I once saw Jarome Iginla take off his helmet to fight Jarko Ruutu after Byron Ritchie was cheap shotted, in a pre season game.
Iggy played his entire career with 2nd tier centres.
The best winger he got to play with in the 21st century was Michael Cammalleri.
He never played on a team with a true #1 D. Reggie, Dion and Bo were all incomplete, and Gio wasn’t Gio until Iggy left.
He had an elite coach for two and a half seasons. In those seasons, he went to the Finals and won the division.
I don’t think his issues were ever the result of a lack of heart.
