Confirmed with Link: Jarome Iginla is Retiring

[Flames Fanatic]

I miss Peter Maher.

Me too. I was lucky enough to have a 1 on 1 lunch with him a few years ago, one of the highlight of my life.

 

[Anglesmith]

Oh god, the awkwardness of that exchange between King and Maher.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Oh god, the awkwardness of that exchange between King and Maher.

Nice beard though.

Oh god, the awkwardness of that exchange between King and Maher.

Damn, I missed that as a co-worker came to talk to me. What happened?

 

[Anglesmith]

Maher went to shake his hand, King went for an enthusiastic fist-bump.

Then King said "welcome home, kid" to Jarome, just to add cringe.

Oh man, I hope someone gets a gif of that

Ken King: "We'll see you later this year."

Jersey retirement?

It better be.

I love Connie

 

[Anglesmith]

Hah, Connie got some digs in.

 

[InfinityIggy]

YEAH BABY.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

I had always hoped that he'd come back to live in Calgary post-retirement so we'd still see him around town.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Hah, Connie got some digs in.

And Iggy gives it back

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Iggy giving shoutouts to his linemates that sometimes get overlooked. What a guy.

 

[JurassicTunga]

This is so great. What a guy Iggy is. Been said millions of times, but seriously. Amazing person. Amazing player.

 

[tiny103]

If it means anything- as a canucks fan, he's the only flames player I'd ever get flames jersey for. Huge respect for him during his career and the handshake for linden's last game cemeted him in Canucks lore

Who's the idiot that didn't put their phone on vibrate?!

 

[Anglesmith]

Who's the idiot that didn't put their phone on vibrate?!

Eric Francis? Just a guess.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Eric Francis? Just a guess.

The thought crossed my mind too, but I don't see why he'd be there if he doesn't work for the Sun anymore. But it sounds like something he'd do.

In case his mom calls.

It's his job guys. Grow up

You jinxed it...

Francis being here doesn't bode well for us fans to what his new opportunity is.

He asked the first question, so he's there. It all fits!

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Oh, Eric Francis IS there

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Just watching this reminds you how special that 2004 team was. That was 14 years ago and everyone talks about it like it was just yesterday.

 

[JurassicTunga]

That was awesome. Iggy so humble. A class act. Honoured to have him part of the Flames for so many years and to have him retire as a Flame. A true icon.
