They should send a camera crew to his house and air it live in between the intermissions if we are losing. or taped delayed until the end of the game if we are winning.
This needed to be done, but I'm gettin' all emotional right now. Manly tears will be shed once this officially goes down. The guy is my favorite NHL player of all time, and I'll be cheering for him to hoist the cup this year. It's a shame it had to come to this. He should have been able to play for a Cup in Flames colours. This franchise failed Iginla big time.

Wow. Now that it has really become an inevitable reality, I feel kind of sick.
I'm happy for the organization being able to move forward, and I'm happy for Iginla to get another legit shot at the Cup. That said, this almost feels tragic. It's been so freakin' long since I watched the Calgary Flames play without Iggy.
Whatever happens, stay or go, Boston/Pittsburgh/LA/Chicago/etc., I wish nothing but good fortune for an absolute icon of Flames hockey.
Go get 'em, Jarome.

I just puke and swallowed it back... That's how i feel right now. On one hand excited as to what we gonna get in return but on the other hand i'm super sad iggy.. The face of this team is close to leaving us
Maybe....just maybe.....one day 10 yrs down the road WE can be the team that's picking up the huge name. This sucks. Although I do think this is what the team needs for a good kick in the a$$, it's still sad. REALLY freakin sad. Will we ever see another player of his caliber again?

Cameras waiting outside for Iginla’s arrival... if he arrives.
Where are they waiting? His house? That would be a bit much...
