Was Iggy really in beast mode? I don't remember. But he didn't seem to start to break out until the following season IIRC.
I remember riding high on the hot start but don't recall what was behind it. Would be interesting to revisit some post-mortems on that season.
I'm sure the Marc Savard/Greg Gilbert feud was just a symptom of something bigger wrong in the locker room which must have been a cause in the wheels coming off so catastrophically.
