As a Calgarian and Flames fan I just want to say what a pleasure it’s been watching Iginla play his entire career here. He embodies what you’d like every player to be, a hardworker, who’s a great leader, always accountable to the media and fans when he’s struggling or the team is struggling, and seemingly just an all around good guy. He’s been the face of this franchise for the last decade, and it’s too bad that the Flames haven’t surrounded him with a better team in that time, I certainly wouldn’t blame him (and I don’t think the majority of Flames fans would either) if he asked to be traded to a contender to win a Stanley Cup, like the Bruins did with Ray Bourque. Even if that happens he’ll still always be considered a Flame and number 12 will be raised to the Saddledome rafters before the home opener the year he retires.

I hate the Calgary flames with a passion. Nevertheless, how can you not respect Jerome Iginla? He embodies what a hockey player is. Congrats Iggy!

Congrats Jarome Iginla!!! 500, and the game winner to boot. They can’t all be wondrous works of beauty… like they say, it’s not how, it’s how many, and 500 is quite a bundle. I look forward to your Hall of Fame induction speech. And not to sound like the old fart that I am, but I do recall when the 500 list started with Gordie Howe and ended with Maurice Richard, with no one in between!
