He's also 75% on faceoffs, helps when a team has no depth at centre

The difference this year from prior years is, we have the pieces of a good team, if we could actually get a good return for the guy.

What burns me the most about the guy, who is supposed to be such a heart and soul player, is when he is awful, its generally because he appears to not even be trying.
Agreed, he doesn't even finish his checks with gusto. Must be worried that bouwmeester will be uncatchable in the iron man streak

The funny thing is, the same people complaining constantly about the team, calling for the heads of Iginla and management, demanding a fire sale, are the same people who are going to complain if/when we blow up the team.

Terrible returns for the players.

Terrible choice for first overall.

Lack of grit.

Coach sucks.

Etc. Like clockwork.

Unlucky bounce, really? That was a poor, lazy play by Iggy and it cost the team a goal.

pretty weak to blame Iginla for a godlike bounce off a skate.

This is what this fan base has become. They hope the team fails (certain players, specifically) so they can be proven right.

Worse than Canuck fans. Unbelievably entitled.
did you watch the first 2 periods?

Iginla was pretty meh the entire time. agreed the last play was an unlucky play, suter pinching caused him to make an imperfect play nonetheless.

irving has had a good game thus far, but then not sure how he ends up, what seems like, at the face-off dot there.

there's nothing wrong with this fanbase, flames are an avg-below avg team. the only thing wrong with the fanbase is arguably expecting more out of this roster.

Iginla deserves more than this fan base.

Any talk about Sutter gets discouraged while bashing Iggy and it goes on and on.

It's just soft. So effing soft, at a critical point intheperiod, tied less than a minute left.

Soft soft soft.

It's the difference between guys with the perception of being tough to play against and guys that are.

That's as soft as any turd bouwmeester or butler have dropped since they've arrived.

Think it's demoralizing as a fan on tv? Imagine being Irving or any of the other guys not pooing their pants out there.

But I'm not afraid to call a spade a spade. He quit on that play, it's really unfortunate to see.
So it should turn into a GIF? What the hell? If there is logic in there, it got lost in the translation from Stupidese to English. Yes he made a bad play and the Wild capitalized on it, but to GIF it for further chastising? That is incredibly low for a supposed "fanbase"....

Chris Cuthbert's voice goes up like a 12 year old boy as well don't hear people complaining about him.

I see a team learning a new system in a condensed schedule. They look to be going in the right direction. If you like teams that have been blown up just look at all the years of success up north of Calgary

It's the ego driven, can't lose approach to being a fan.

Hate on the local team so you can say you're not a homer. When the local team does bad, you win for being right

When the local team wins, you win as well because it's not like you really wanted to see your team lose in the first place and you're thrilled that they proved you wrong.
