[News] Iginla Scores 600

[killer_carlson]

Odds that he scores #600 against us this week?

[Bring_Back_Shantz]

Damn 600 goals?!?
Those are some Robbie Shremp numbers right there!

Wow I have been so busy being excited about his upcoming milestone, I didn't even realize it could be against us. That would sour my celebration of the goal a little.

Although I wonder how the 19,289 would react if it happened? Standing O or jeers?

[polak]

I'd cheer.

Its in Colorado, which might soften the blow somewhat.

[Machiavelli]

Oops, in Colorado, nvm

[CroFlames]

Oh, I didn't realize it was in Denver actually.

I hope he gets it against us. I think the universe aligns for this one. I wouldn't even be mad and it would be extremely cool to see.

Has Iginla even scored against the Flames yet? I can't recall any goals against us.

I think he did earlier this year.

Yup, twice. http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/recap?id=2015020178

He did, he got two goals that game IIRC.

Yep, one was an empty netter.

Never change Iggy, never change

He is a class player. I think (at least I know I do) that people forget just how good he was during some very dark days for the team.

[sharkov]

It would be ironic if his 600th on an empty netter

^ Why ?

I think someone posted in the past that he actually has quite a low percentage of EN goals.

I think the conclusion was that his EN goal percentage was right around normal for high scoring forwards. Of course, some people just feel the need throw a wet blanket on everything.

Jarome at 600! Pft, yeah but how many empty netters?

Ovi at 500! Pft, cherry picker, lazy Russian.

Johnny PPG player! Pft, still not a superstar.

Monahan owning faceoff dot! Pft, no points last game, 3rd line C at best.

Yeah, yet people still act like a quarter of his goals are empty netters for some odd reason.

I would be fine with him scoring his 600th against the Flames. Not that I'd want it to be a game winning goal but if it is, so be it.

[Knut]

I think he has something like 5% of his goals being Empty Netters. According to this thread from 2011 - http://forum.calgarypuck.com/archive.../t-112107.html

He is actually 8th all time in GWG's . That is 15.8% of all his goals scored. Which is really good. Gretzky was at 10% .. Jagr is the best of the all time GWG leaders at 17.8 %

[CroFlames]

Looking at that list, I can't believe a player who is still playing today is 4th all time in goals. Simply incredible. He'll settle in nicely into that 3rd spot.

[topfiverecords]

I'd be ok with him getting his 600th against us as long as it's a late goal after we're up 4-0.

[You Need a Thneed]

When Iggy gets the 600th, It will probably be the last time EVER in the NHL that a 700 goal scorer and a 600 goal scorer will be playing at the same time.
