asked on twitter last night if Edmonton fans felt like we did/do with Gretzky/McDavid when Iginla was in his prime?
Iginla was a great player, but not that level.
Really when you look at it there are only a few franchises that have had multiple generational players.
Edmonton - Gretzky, Messier?, McDavid (Draisaitl)
Pittsburgh - Lemieux, Jagr, Crosby (Malkin)
Colorado - Sakic, Forsberg?, McKinnon (Roy)
Detroit - Howe, Yzerman
Calgary has never had that guy.
Last night I thought Calgary played it well until they stacked a line with two players, and then it just kind of felt inevitable.
