Everybody Loves Jarome
Posted in Uncategorized by Joshua
ESPN’s NHL player survey results have been released for 2008/09, and Jarome Iginla came out of it looking pretty good this year.
ESPN contacted every team in the NHL and got responses from over 20% of the players in the league for this survey.
Iggy was named both the best leader, as well as the player who would make the best president/prime minister. He also garnered votes as a player that his colleagues would like to trade lives with. None of this comes as a surprise to Flames fans, but it’s good to see that he’s getting that recognition from his colleagues league-wide.
Other notable Calgary inclusions:
- Todd Bertuzzi is considered one of the worst complainers in the NHL, although he trails far behind Sidney Crosby
- We Flames fans are considered among the “most disruptive” in the league
- Kerry Fraser was selected as the best referee in the league. This would suggest that votership was low from the Flames roster
