Maybe it went down like this (purely speculation):
- Iginla and/or agent supply Calgary with the list – it includes both Pitt and Boston
- But player still has to sign-off on final deal when done
- Flames/Bruins agree on deal. Feaster figures its done since Boston is on the list. Chiarelli figures its done ... both teams schedule press conferences internally
- Deal is taken to Iginla camp at between 7 and 8 pm calgary time (when feaster got up and left the gms booth???)
- Iginla camp says no. Has to be Pitt.
- Feaster now stuck. If word gets out that Iginla has picked only Pitt he’s got zero leverage.
- Calls Pitt and makes the best deal he can in short order
- Boston out of luck, Feaster’s hands forced.
would've pulled for iggy to win a cup as long as he didn't go to the pens.
now, screw him. i hope they get bounced in the first round and boston wins it all. that'll teach him to pick the pens and the golden boy.
down with crosby! and anyone who likes him!
What would be a fitting class act by the Pens and Crosby to bestow on a such a class player would be to make him the captain.
off the ice drama! locker room rift! pens collapse! everyone party!

Just read Chiarelli's comments about the trade falling through.
Handled the whole thing with class and even managed to pump up the guys he tried to trade while he was at it.
Good Ottawa boy that Peter.
Amen to that awaz. I hope Iggy, Sid, Malkin, Letang are all out before the playoffs.
Just waiting for round 2. The league has kissed the Pens ass for years. Ulf was allowed to destroy Neely's career and Cooke Savard's without any repercussions so I wait for the day when another hit like this happens.

And on the other end of the spectrum...
Sorry, I guess that hit by Ulf was all class. the hit by Cooke on Savard that ended his career was classy too. Yup, Pitt reeks of class. By the way, I don't post here for anyone's approval.
A show of hands - Who here wants to see a Boston - Pittsburgh playoff series?

Neither do I, and I hate the fucking Penguins.
To wish for injuries to players like Iginla who had nothing to do with injuring, or trying to injure, other players is becoming the Matt Cooke of NHL fans.
I want the Penguins out in the first round and I'd love to see Cooke try to fight anyone other than Brian Gionta. I have no problem with Cooke getting his face beaten in during a fight.
I do have a problem with anyone who is douchey enough to wish injury on honest players.
