I don't know how anyone can not like Jarome Iginla. He usually has a smile that makes me smile from its genuineness. Iggy was named the #3 captain with this as his description: "The Flames went to the Stanley Cup Final in Iginla's first year. Coincidence? We think not. Iginla is the emotional leader that drove that team to the pinnacle of its abilities. He is an elite player who inspires with his play as much as his words, but he is adept at both. His likeability and honesty attract teammates to him, making him the perfect go-between that season between the players and demanding and sometimes gruff coach Darryl Sutter that year. He is already a hero in Calgary and is well on his way to establishing himself as captain material for Canada in upcoming international competitions."
I have waxed on about Iggy during our community leader topic.
This sums him up in video form fo'sho' - make him mad and he will score more times than not.
His trophy case is full of hardware as well...
