Sorry.

In Jarome’s defence, Brent had no idea how to coach this team. His systems were pure east-west hockey and our defensive coverage was a nightmare for any sort of transition game. We finished 2nd last in the league for GF in 2009-10 after finishing 8th overall the year before.
Plus that team was dealing with all the Phaneuf drama which Iginla was right in the centre of. I give Iggy a pass for not being his best self that year after seeing everything he worked for burning around him, especially as the Keenan years had felt like they were on the precipice of success.
