There is no escaping this unless you're willing to accept a logical fallacy, which is an admittance of poor thought

Which fallacy do you refer to?

It was wrong the first time and it's wrong now.

The captain is not responsible for a team's record.

He is responsible for setting a standard for leadership, hard work, and being a pro.

Giordano, like Iginla did, does that in spades.

I never blamed Iginla anyways, just saying that it would be fair to view them differently.

Well Iginla's team was never drafting top 5 in three years. One could argue the current Flames are expected to be better than the 3rd last team in the league, especially following a trip to the conference semifinals.
