Iginla Trash Talking, Scoring

Flames head coach Brent Sutter played with or against almost every other player on that list. He compared Iginla to the likes of Cam Neely, Rick Tocchet and Clark Gillies for having a power game and used Iginla’s clutch insurance goal in Friday’s 7-4 win to prove his point.

“He got in there hard on the forecheck, finished a check, battled for the puck and got it behind the net. Then he drove the net and got it back and was able to capitalize on it,” said Sutter of Iggy’s goal to make it 6-4 Flames Friday at the Saddledome. “That’s what a very good player like Jarome will do. He’ll score those big goals at big times.”
