Just like that, it’s over. Finished. Jarome Iginla is no longer a Flame. I am still in shock. It feels weird typing that. It doesn’t feel real and probably won’t until we see him in a Penguins jersey for the first time. It has been a trying year for everyone involved with the Flames. The players, the managers, the coaches and especially the fans. It will become even more difficult later today at 10:30 when Iginla will say his good-byes to all the fans that have cheered “IG-GY IG-GY IG-GY” for the past 16 years. I’m sure that tears will be shed by both him and the fans this morning, as they should. It is hard seeing someone who has been a part of our family for the greater parts of two decades leave home.
I put in at least a couple of posts that I would have been dissapointed in Iggy if this wasn't the way he chose to go. Staying in Calgary and not going for the Cup would have been beyond lame. This is what I expected from him / nothing matters except the ring on the finger!
