[News] Iginla to announce retirement July 30th at Saddledome

[bubbsy]

My favorite player, no doubt. He could do it all.

There may never be another like him, given the current evolution of the game, which is sad...

Angry iggy was was an unstoppable force.

Thanks...and even with that Iggy had 100+ goals more than Thornton...that's insane goal-scoring/finishing ability

You won't have to wonder. He'll be in the newspaper telling you all about it.

Best of luck to Iginla, definitely a great player.

I just thought it was hypocritical. You didn't want to see Iginla in a Flames jersey again but you were okay with Jagr despite him being 5 years older.

I guess "expiry date" means different things depending on how high up a player is in the all-time scoring race?

Personally, I would've MUCH rather brought Iginla back as our 'elder statesman, character, leadership' player than Jagr.


Anyway, we all knew this day was coming. I hope Iginla enjoys his retirement.

15th on the all-time goals list and 34th on the all-time points list.

9th all-time in game winning goals.

Best player in history of this team, My favorite player. There will never be another Jarome Iginla. Glad they are doing this. Retire 12 this year as well is the right thing to do !

Tell your buddy that video is one of the most amazing ever made, I hope someone showed it to Jarome.
