Jarome Iginla RUMORS & NEWS

Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Despite being demoted to the third line and seldom seeing playoff time on the first power-play unit, Jarome Iginla wouldn't mind returning to the Penguins next season. Iginla, a future hall-of-famer, will become a free agent July 5 if he doesn't re-sign with the Penguins by then. “I think..." June 10

Denver Post "The biggest decision the Avalanche has right now is whom to select with the first pick in the NHL draft June 30. Assuming the Avs don't trade the pick, that is. But the Avs have another serious question to ponder over the next month: Should they buy out the remainder of David Jones'..." June 09

CSN New England "Not too many Bruins fans will forget the day that Jarome Iginla was traded to Boston, and then wasn't. The former Calgary Flames star used his no trade clause to block an initial deal to the B's in order to get himself shipped off to Pittsburgh to team up with the likes of Sidney Crosby and..." June 08

Toronto Star "We know how badly it went for Marian Hossa when he tried to pick which team looked more likely to be a champion. Well, it’s going even worse for Jarome Iginla. Those who viewed his trade to Pittsburgh from Calgary as a wonderful story that would end up with the same happy ending as Raymond..." June 04

Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Jarome Iginla is ready for a battering. Physicality — a part of the Boston Bruins' DNA for about 40 years, and especially now — is not something from which Iginla will shy away in the Eastern Conference final. Actually, he will take it any day over more questions about his decision to play..." May 30

ESPN Boston "Claude Julien’s statement at the trade deadline in late March, when Jarome Iginla used his no-trade rights to steer himself to the Penguins instead of the Bruins, has proven prophetic: "It'll be at the end of the year he'll see whether he made the right decision or not,” he said, adding the..." May 30

Boston Globe "When it comes to villanizing professional athletes, Boston sports fans have that role down to a science. Their memories of Bucky Dent's home run, David Tyree's catch and Magic Johnson's hook shot, just to name a few, are long-lasting. Over the years, the Pittsburgh Penguins have provided a few..." May 28

Calgary Herald "Watching the melee of microphones and voice recorders clustered far away, in somebody else’s face, blocking someone else’s view, Jarome Iginla can empathize. “It’s not as if I’m like ‘Oh God, I’m glad THAT’s over,’ ” protests the former Calgary Flames’ captain. “So it’s a tricky question. I..." May 18

CSN New England "Rightfully pushed to the background because of the tragic events that unfolded this week, both unfortunate and inspirational, the Bruins will host the Eastern Conference’s top dog when the Pittsburgh Penguins roll into town for a rare Friday night home game at TD Garden. The Penguins are red..." April 19

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Jarome Iginla came to Pittsburgh looking for a Stanley Cup. And, once he started to settle in, something else. A full-service grocery store Downtown. His prospects for winning a Cup remain to be seen, because much can happen between now and the time some team piles up 16 playoff..." April 11

TSN.ca "Jarome Iginla's 18-year tenure with the Calgary Flames has come to an end. The team announced that it has dealt Iginla to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for college prospects Kenneth Agostino and Ben Hanowski as well as Pittsburgh's first-round draft pick. Iginla has scored nine goals..." March 28

Calgary Sun "The Calgary Flames front-office has ripped a page out of Harvey the Hound’s handbook. No matter how often they poke, prod and pull your tongue, don’t say anything. Not a word. When it comes to speculation the Flames are exploring trade possibilities for captain, face-of-the-franchise and..." March 26

Calgary Sun "Have Flames fans seen the last of Jarome Iginla in Calgary? Did the stirring ovation given to him following his game-winner late Sunday serve as his last hurrah? Fans should hope so. Destined to be a painful separation no matter how it all ends, the Flames now have a golden..." March 25

ESPN.com "Keep an eye on the Los Angeles Kings if and when the Calgary Flames and Jarome Iginla decide to begin divorce proceedings. While it’s been widely (and accurately) reported that Boston and Pittsburgh have interest in the Flames captain should he become available, I believe the Kings would be..." March 15

Edmonton Journal "With the NHL trade deadline 24 days away, there are way more buyers than sellers because there are few teams that are definitely out of the playoff picture, barring a miracle run — the Columbus Blue Jackets, Florida Panthers, Colorado Avalanche, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames and Buffalo..." March 11

Calgary Sun "With every embarrassing loss, Jarome Iginla’s decision must get a little bit easier. With every painful, four-goal humiliation, the Calgary Flames captain is surely able to better relate to the situation that saw Rick Nash finally admit he’d had enough of losing. The frustration of..." March 11

Calgary Sun "Time is ticking away on the Jarome Iginla era in Calgary, as the most popular player in franchise history has yet to decide whether he wants to remain with the Flames. Iginla’s agent, Don Meehan, has given the Calgary Sun an ominous update on the situation between the two sides, saying the..." March 10

Ottawa Sun "Don’t be surprised if the Pittsburgh Penguins get Sidney Crosby a little help. While the Penguins’ captain is doing a good job setting a torrid scoring pace this season, Pittsburgh general manager Ray Shero is expected to go shopping for another winger and possibly a defenceman before the April..." March 04

Calgary Herald "Ryan O'Reilly was the third-line centre for the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday, and his coach said he was average, and the most embarrassing thing to happen in his immediate vicinity was a loss in overtime to the Columbus Blue Jackets. That wasn't good, mind you, but it happens, now and then. The..." March 04

Calgary Sun "It was gutsy, it was savvy, and it was absolutely the right thing for the Calgary Flames to do. But not only did the Flames lose out last night on acquiring the top-line centre they’ve been missing for decades, the failed attempt to sign Ryan O’Reilly may also hurt the NHL team’s chances of..." March 01

Calgary Sun "Of all the sports clichés, it could be the most over-used. And that's saying something. It's not how. It's how many. There's more than a shred of truth to it, though. Credit Jarome Iginla for stickhandling around the old saying, but those words certainly rang true for the Calgary..." February 26

CSN Philly "So when does Calgary general manager Jay Feaster place Jarome Iginla for sale? And if that were to happen, would Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren grab Iginla before Boston’s Peter Chiarelli? Both these clubs are looking for help on the wing. Truth is, however, the Bruins are in far..." February 24

Calgary Sun "Rhett Warrener officially recorded 26 assists during his stint with the Calgary Flames. It would appear the retired-defenceman-turned-radio-personality unofficially recorded another. One sleep after Warrener said on the Sportsnet FAN960 radio show that his former teammate Jarome Iginla..." February 14

Calgary Sun "One of Bob Hartley's first moves as head coach of the Calgary Flames was to pick up the phone and have a chat with Jarome Iginla. Apparently, the Flames captain was impressed with what he heard. Iginla wasn't available for comment immediately after Hartley was hired last week but issued a..." June 07

Calgary Herald "Calgary Flames captain Jarome Iginla is mourning the loss of his maternal grandmother, the woman who helped raise him. Frances (Fran) Schuchard, of St. Albert, died Tuesday at age 89. She had battled health problems for the last few years. Iginla missed the 2011 NHL all-star game to spend..." May 07

Calgary Sun "Jay Feaster wasn't about to dive into the Jarome Iginla issue. But the Calgary Flames GM didn't declare the captain was off-limits, either. That said, the speculation over the uncertainty of Iginla's future in Calgary is taking a toll on everyone in the franchise. "The whole thing about..." April 11

Calgary Sun "Despite his third straight year without a taste of playoff hockey, Jarome Iginla's goal hasn't changed. He wants to win. But he wants to do it here. Although he said following the Flames' final game of the season he wasn't interested in being part of a full rebuild, his ultimate goal..." April 10

Calgary Herald "We are all, deep down, creatures of habit. Creatures of comfort. Creatures of familiarity. Irrespective of tax bracket, religious beliefs, political affiliation, relative fame or obscurity. The longer you stay, the harder it is. And Jarome Iginla has made this town his home, has writ his..." April 10

Calgary Herald "This is nothing the players care to contemplate. The Calgary Flames — without Jarome Iginla. "That's difficult to wrap your head around," Cory Sarich said Monday at the Saddledome. "I haven't really thought about that. I really don't know what to say. Jarome's been here for a long time. I've..." April 10

Calgary Herald "Michael Cammalleri bristled Monday at the suggestion the Calgary Flames might consider building around him for the future. On the surface, the idea sounds like a massive compliment for a player coming off a 41-point season. But . . . "I'm a Jarome Iginla fan," Cammalleri told reporters on..." April 10

Calgary Sun "Lanny McDonald knows exactly how Jarome Iginla must be feeling these days. As a Hall-of-Fame career gets into the later stages, the Calgary Flames captain is still looking for that elusive Stanley Cup ring. It describes both McDonald and Iginla. While McDonald stayed with the Flames and..." April 08

Calgary Herald "The long, narrow, colour image, vintage 2005-2006, is a close-up view of the Calgary Flames' bench, all standing, to celebrate a goal most probably, and dominates the far wall as you enter the Ed Whalen Media Lounge. Matthew Lombardi is at the far end, craning his neck for a better look. He's..." April 03

Calgary Sun "Nobody was questioning Jarome Iginla's leadership skills at this time last year. Although the Calgary Flames captain's squad was destined to miss the playoffs for a second straight season, he almost singlehandedly willed them to make the race interesting. Over his final seven games, he scored..." March 24

Calgary Herald "Standing at his stall, Jarome Iginla piled gear into his equipment bag. Used to being the centre of attention he was, for a moment at least, blissfully alone. No cameras. No microphones. No wave upon wave of repetitive interrogation. Down the way a piece, a swarm of media had rushed to..." March 16

Calgary Sun "The future of the franchise — Sven Baertschi — scored one. The face of the franchise — Jarome Iginla — scored another. And with a crucial point on the line in an intense overtime session, a guy that many have fingered as a failure of the Calgary Flames franchise — Matt Stajan — scored the..." March 14

Calgary Sun "Pretty simple formula for success. Jarome Iginla goes hard to the net, and goals go in for the Calgary Flames captain. They don't get any easier than the ones the Montreal Canadiens allowed him to score Tuesday night during a sloppy, awfully played 5-4 Flames victory at the..." March 07

Calgary Sun "Jarome Iginla didn't run from the facts. "The last five games, unfortunately, haven't been really good," admitted the Calgary Flames captain in the aftermath of Monday's 3-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. They haven't been good for the Flames — even if the first game of that stretch was a 1-0..." February 29

Calgary Herald "A paltry two points for the Calgary Flames. An even more paltry one point for the captain. Hmmm, wouldn't happen to be a correlation there, would there? Maybe? Huh? Ya think?! "I wouldn't say a COUPLE of weeks,'' protested Jarome Iginla, in the early stock-taking stages of a sobering..." February 29

Calgary Sun "Jarome Iginla's stature in the city of Calgary is the same around the hockey world. Thats why the Flames captain was named among the top role models in a poll of NHL players done by the CBC and NHLPA. Iginla was on the list behind Nicklas Lidstrom, Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews. "It's..." February 21

Calgary Herald "To Jarome Iginla, stickhandling through media scrums just comes with the job. So it was no surprise when a familiar topic came up Monday after the morning skate at the Honda Center. Specifically, his future and whether he sees himself on the move come the Feb. 27 National Hockey League trade..." February 07

Calgary Sun "Jarome Iginla has been to a half-dozen NHL all-star games. Each one has taken on a different feel and tone for the Calgary Flames captain through his career arc and in the jammed Team Chara dressing room Sunday at Scotiabank Place, Iginla was a light mood, savouring the experience with his kids..." January 30

Calgary Sun "The theory is obvious. The NHL all-star game, as much as it can be fun for players to attend and a showcase for the league, is not time well spent for players. Therefore, those such as Jarome Iginla — the Calgary Flames captain who will attend his sixth game this weekend in Ottawa — would be..." January 29

Calgary Sun "One day after being awarded a golden stick, Jarome Iginla was unjustly awarded a golden raspberry of sorts. As part of a Sports Illustrated player poll that found Dion Phaneuf the NHL's most overrated player, the Flames captain somehow found himself 12th on the list. Apparently, concussions..." January 12

Calgary Sun "Lanny McDonald is no longer alone in the club, and he's thrilled to welcome Jarome Iginla into the fraternity. For nearly 23 years, McDonald had the distinction of being the lone player to score his 500th goal while playing for the Calgary Flames. Iginla joined McDonald with his third-period..." January 09

Calgary Sun "As if Jarome Iginla's achievement of scoring 500 goals — and more than 1,000 points — for the Calgary Flames wasn't impressive enough. Consider that from the start of the 1996-97 season to now, only one other player, Daymond Langkow, has scored more than 100 goals for the Flames in all that..." January 09
