Iginla already had a better retirement from Calgary than anything the Flames organization could put together. December 10, 2013 was his first game back to the Dome. The opening ceremony was devoted to him, and brought him to tears. Then he was awarded 3rd star (in spite of no points) and when he came to take his skate the rest of the Bruins filled the bench, making him do a couple of laps around the Dome to a standing ovation.
I can't find a video of the star ceremony, but found one of the opening. Have a watch and tell me if there is anything the Flames could do that would compare to the raw emotion seen here.
