But Iggy was a true unicorn.

A superstar player who spent 16 years in a small Canadian market.

Nearly unrivalled speed and power - people forget about his skating, but prime Iggy was FAST.

A+ one timer, slap shot, snap shot, wrist shot.

Scored garbage goals and scored from 40 feet out on the rush.

Elite passer and playmaker.

Frequently took games over on his own.

Always charming, always gracious, always gave the impression that he truly appreciated being our Captain and our Guy.

Unicorn 🦄.
not to mention he did all of that in the dead puck era. Iginla in his prime was a terror.

Imagine what he could have done in today's games, where you could not obstruct him, hold him and interfere with him.
