Makes sense. He does a lot of speaking events etc which I imagine get booked well in advanced (before the jersey retirement would have been announced)

Iginla and Fleury always seemed to have a decent enough relationship

Darryl and Kipper should have been there.

Kipper wouldn't come if they retired his jersey. He'd prob send Toskala in his place.

Just had to say, I missed the whole game and ceremony working. I just sat and watched the tribute video, wow it got me tearing up. Then I had to explain to my wife why my eyes were red. It’s funny the things that can make a grown man get emotional.

Just feel fortunate I got to watch the whole career of such a great Flame, including having seasons tickets for a good part of it. Really defines a big chapter of my life.
