In fairness, I remember the media praising him during the Cup run, and rightfully so. But when he was putting up insanely good seasons, and taking out his own trash on a regular basis, it was ho-hum as far as I remember from media. They clung to their stars of yesteryear.
I'll never get over the fact that Iggy is not in the NHL 100, and I can't help to think that the lack of media spotlight during his career maybe led to the omission.

I think you are miss remembering.
There was a time whe Iggy was the face of league.
At Troutman said, he was sought out for interviews north and south of the border.
His studliness was acknowledged far and wide.
