So my 8 year old kid at the time liked the Flames from their playoff run & loss to Tampa in the finals - I bring him to a Flames game in Jersey sporting his new Iginla jersey - Iginla comes off the ice after warmups and asks my kid if he has a pen- my kid can barely shake his head no. So Iggy puts his stick & gloves down and says hold on for a sec, while he goes to the locker room to get a pen, comes back to sign his hat and jersey & gives him a handshake & wishes him luck in his squirt hockey career - from what I understand this is par for the course for #12 - Here's hoping for a great night!

You guys should all seriously watch this video. BEST Jarome Iginla tribute made. Makes me miss the way the flames played, and makes me even more anxious for the future to hopefully be as bright as it was during the Iginla era.

Henrique of the Devils fought him & Iggy could have gone for a real knockout, but he held up and let him go

Year 1 vs Year 8 of the rebuild in Alberta and year 1 is way farther ahead
- Svensational47

Some one needs to learn to count. I mean if Edmonton is in year 8 then Calgary is in year 5. Since you have missed the playoffs all those years....

Some peoples logic is astounding....

Do we really need to get into this again? Year one for the Oilers was drafting Hall.

I would say you are closer to year 5 than being in year 4, but I guess its all semantics, 3 firsts & 1 7th overall are all rebuild draft picks. So I think ground zero was the year leading up to that 1st overall for Hall. My time flys when you're having fun.

I would say 4.5 yrs. So yes we expect to be a little better this year. But getting there slowly...



Big issue was who we kept to build around. Hemsky and Horcoff should have been shipped out long ago.

Cant argue except I am not sure how you see any slow improvement this year in any kind. If anything the start to this year is more steps back than getting there slowly. I can think of 3 players that you would consider future core having very disappointing performances.

Didn't the oilers have three first round picks in 2007? I think I would say that is year one.

no gonna have much injury sympathy from Boston though,
Loui Eriksson (concussion), Chris Kelly (broken leg), Boychuk (back) and Adam McQuaid (lower body), Hamilton, (Lower Body), and throw in that Thortons self made problems, That's a lot of AHL roster callups....

- 77emac77

… Lucic, Begeron, Marchand, Kreijci, Rask, Chara… Seidneberg… lol you have no sympathy either… Considering we have Cammy, Hudler, Gio… Stajan?

A co-worker just walked by and asked if i was OK. Apparently my eyes were a little glossy....
Side note, not sure if it ever came to light but I'm pretty sure he busted his hand on Vinny's head in the finals. I remember him being a little off after that
