Confirmed with Link: Jarome iginla traded to pittsburgh!!!

[BruinsFTW]

Not the update I wanted to read when I saw the notification on my phone...

I saw Jarome Iginla has been traded to....

Go to ****in NHL.com and see Pit.

FmL. I didn't think he was the Savior and answer like a lot here did but he wanted to go to Pit over Bos. Hope we own them in the ECFs.

 

[Pay Carl]

Yeah, kinda ridiculous sequence there. Seemed like someone behind the scenes wanted the "glory?" of reporting this or something?

Really?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Bruins had an offer in place.

Because of his NMC, Iginla was presented with offers and he chose the PIT offer.

Aaron Ward jumped the gun.

The end.

not that simple--I have been on line since 2pm london time it is now 630am London time. From about 6pm london time till about 2 hours ago--all the talk was about the Bruins--I hooked onto a few Boston stations via tunein.com and they were talking like Iggy was a bruin--long before Ward decided to announce Dewey was elected

Somebody somewhere that was high up in the bruins camp had to talk to the media to have sooooo many of them act like it was a done deal

 

[NinthSpoke06]

I would probably get banned for saying all the bad things I want to happen to Jarome Iginla right now so I won't. But it is really bad.

I'm kinda mad.

 

[YNWABoston]

Embarassing pro athletes would choose to play in a piece of **** city like Pittsburgh over Boston, certainly doesn't reflect well on the organization having two well respected veterans turn you down in 72 hours..

Don't know what Chiarelli can do to overcome this PR nightmare.

 

[Mione134]

Feelings on twitter seem to be that deal was supposed to be announced tomorrow and Feaster pulled this out at literally the last second.


Chia is nahht a happy camper.

And now the health of the Flames franchise going forward suffers

No, to be certain, there's "more" than that behind the scenes, I'm sure. But after watching the gut punch from the Habs in person tonight at the garden, then getting gut punched again by one Jerome Eginela once I got home, that's the very short version.

I'm sorry.

 

[Shec8576]

You guys must be livid. I'm super annoyed cause as an Ottawa fan i despise the Penguins.

I'd way rather see you win another cup then the whiny Pens and its enraging that he would choose those softies over your tough team who actually has a goalie. Lets all hope Fleury plays like a joke come playoff time.

He really has 1 choice....make a huge move.

Otherwise he will get a lot of deserved criticism.

And no Ales Hemsky.

Ultimately it was still Iginla blowing it up, but if that report about Chia wanting that 1st to be a conditional was the reason Shero's deal was even considered, he deserves to be fired 100%.

 

[YNWABoston]

The boston hockey media is a friggin joke too.. Lets recap today.. we have fat boy Haggs parading around boston tv and radio proclaiming the deal is done.. not to be outdone.. Jimmy Murphy is straight making up trade rumors only to be laughed at by TSN publically on twitter. Get some real ****ing sources.

 

[Widdlez]

Lets get Bobby Ryan!...please...?

 

[Kurplunk]

Man I thought he was a Bruin an hr ago.
I check up before i go snooze and this **** appears..
Feel bad for ya, kinda cruel info =/
Ugh I hate the Pens =//

 

[GodTukka*]

Lets get Bobby Ryan!...please...?

Would be ok with this.

ANYTHING but some ****ing Rolston type move.

Streit? sure, St. Louis? you betcha, Jagr? Dah

But not a god damn plug

There's an alliance I feel like. Feels like to me, PITT, VAN, and MTL are ALWAYS against us. I've always rooted for OTT, CAL, some parts of Winnipeg in these situations.

I'd be lying if I'd said I'm not going to be concerned. However come playoffs, it's on.

Doubt that's true.

 

[Lobster57]

How'd you like to have to explain this to Cam right about now....


also, i think there is an avy theme in this somewhere...

It's weird, Ottawa fans are friendly as hell despite being rivals.

You stay classy Sens nation (no seriously)

Pretty sure Ryan would cost the moon. Don't see why they trade him now unless its overpayment. I can dream though.

 

[Cory Trevor]

The only other person that would justify it. However it won't happen. Ducks are going on a cup run and Bobby gets moved in the off season, if at all. People don't understand exactly how he plays here. He's super physical, super skilled, and fast as hell.

Other than that I'd like to see the price for MSL.

 

[trenton1]

As I said in the other thread, I think it was Pittsburgh as Iginla's singular choice all along and Feaster used Chiarelli to try to drive up the price and Shero didn't blink.

Well I hate PITT =/

Server overload at 2am while all of the East Coast and Toronto and Montreal sleeps? Ya, I doubt it. No biggie, I just won't bother breaking news in the future if we have a mod that wants to start all the threads himself. Waste of time to make a thread about something that is just going to be shut down (I'm in a little bit of a foul mood tonight as you may surmise).

Dude... you're better than this. There is no conspiracy going on haha

A writer (and a few others) tweeted out the link, did you not see we had like 2,000 people in here?

I agree with you but just don't get two tens with that five Colt. We need ya around here.
