Hey SNET, no one cares about the Leafs. It's Iginla night.

He's probably out fishing for the legendary dragon vampire fish of the goomogaknife Fjord with Kipper.

I thought I heard a few boos when Ken King's name was announced. Certaintly had the least amount of applause of anyone on the ice

I think my wife was pealing onions in my face during the ceremony.
It was interfering with my crying.

I think we can safely say this:
Kipper - Tearing it up somewhere in Finland.
Sutter - Dicking around on the farm, no cell reception, forgot it was tonight.
Fleury - Somewhere in the Dome.
Edwards - Sleeping cause it's 3AM in the UK.

He was here. I sit in front of the owners box and he was back there. Just not on the ice.

He'll get his day.

Vernon had a couple of seasons with Iggy when he was at the end of his career and yet he was invited. Fleury was there for that start of Iggy's career and wasn't there.
Why one and not the other?

Vernon and Lannie's numbers are up there already, so that's why they were there.

Here's the thing with Iginla. If you don't follow hockey you know who he is.
My mother can name probably 2 people who ever played for the Flames despite my die hard allegiance for 30 years.
She doesn't pronounce his name remotely correctly, but she knows Iginla.
This morning I said to my wife, "You know tonight's a special night."
She responded, "I know, the Flames are retiring Iginla's jersey.... what? Why are you looking so surprised?"
1. I didn't know she knew retiring jerseys was a thing.
2. I didn't know she knew who Iginla was.
3. I have no idea HOW she'd know that, as I didn't bore her with the details. (Apparently I have sports on TV *alot* or so was her explanation).
That said. Obviously, the guy transcended the average hockey fan.
If non sports fans living in the frozen north Atlantic with nothing but Leafs and Habs fans (the occasional Bruins and Oilers fan mixed in... and me the lone Flames fan) know who Jarome Iginla is and that his jersey is being retired this evening, that demonstrates he truly is something special.

Agreed...but that doesn't explain Chris Dingman being there.

Love seeing Cammalleri back in town. Such a fun player with great chemistry with Jarome.

Isn't it refreshing for CBC/Sportsnet to give us lots of exposure they way they would with Toronto and Edmonton on every other day other than today?
Cammy's on!

Valid point, one I failed to consider.

Can we not have bitching about Fleury spoiling Iginla's night?

I was very disappointed with Peter Maher.
Kept talking over the crowd.
Never let the cheering just go.
Just kept interrupting the cheering.
The fans never got the chance to do a proper and sustained salute to #12, IMO.

For those who wanted Kiprusoff to make an appearance tonight, never forget...
