Talk:Jarome Iginla

message: I've removed the puzzling reference to Iginla being a favourite for the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2002 -- the Flames didn't make the playoffs and so any reference to the Conn Smythe is irrelevant.  Perhaps the originating author meant another trophy (Hart?  I don't remembember...) cucumberslumber 23:41, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: I would want to do some (unoriginal) research before putting this in the main article— but I think Iginla is the first Black to win a gold medal in the Olympic Winter Games, when he led the Canadian team in 2002.  There have been some noteable figure and speed skaters of color, but I think he was the first to win the gold. The article for Shani Davis, the American speed skater, says Davis was the first Black to win an individual gold medal in 2006, and the fifth to win any medal.

message: So I happen to have a book that mentions Iginla losing the Hart in 2002. I'll let Resolute add it however he sees fit, but I'll give the details and source here:
*Both Iginla and Theodore were tied in voting points with 434.
*Theodore won based on first-place votes; he had 26, Iginla, 23.
*It was rumoured at least one writer left Iginla off the ballot. Obviously had he been on it, Iginla would have won. (All these are on page 20)
*Not related, but in this book as well and worth noting: it was Elvis who suggested that Jarome donate money for every goal he scored. (p. 29)

replies: text: Yes, and the rumour is that a Montreal writer left him off, creating an obvious conspiracy theory.  I think this article is ready for FAC, but this small tidbit is one of the things I want to add.  I'll be checking the book out tomorrow, thanks! Resolute 18:58, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I believe Iginla's hat-trick was taken away, vs Norway. GoodDay (talk) 16:44, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems everybody but Olympic officials know that Iginla tipped that goal in for the hat trick, but the official might still read two goals.  For the most part, I am just going to let everyone edit the section as desired, then perform any necessary cleanup after the games are over.

message: Now that Iginla has been traded to the Penguins, a few lines need to be altered. For example, in the third paragraph, it states that "He was selected 11th overall by the Dallas Stars in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, but was later traded to Calgary and has played his entire professional career with the Flames." This should be changed to, for example, "He was selected 11th overall by the Dallas Stars in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, but was later traded to Calgary where he played the first 17 seasons of his career."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael Boutros (talk • contribs) 17:42, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Why is the sentence about Iginla moving to the Pens better suited to Milestones than NHL career, where it was originally added?
