June 11, 2008 Jarome Iginla is a finalist for the Hart Trophy (MVP), but don't consider him one to think he has a chance to win, according to the Calgary Herald. "I'm going pretty much knowing I'm not going to win -- well, I'm 99.9 per cent sure I'm not going to win,'' said Iginla. "But I'm going to go and enjoy it. I won't have the pressure of thinking, 'Tonight I have to make a speech,' or even that I might have to."
Our View:Inginla believes that Alexander Ovechkin will win the award, as does most everyone else. The NHL might have tipped its hand a few days ago when NHL.com offered for sale a t-shirt showing Ovechkin the winner of the award. Think someone got fired for putting that item up for sale?
April 30, 2008 Jarome Iginla was named a finalist for the Hart Trophy awarded each year to the league MVP.
Our View:Iginla truly is an MVP both in the real world and in the fantasy game. He scored 50 goals with 15 on the power-play and nine of them going for game winners, not to mention being a +27 and producing 83 PIM. He should be a top-5 pick in drafts next year.
April 22, 2008 Calgary RW Jarome Iginla did what he could to put the Flames into the contention and move them on to the second round of the NHL playoffs, but his strong skills were no match for a San Jose team on the prowl and too loaded to break, taking the series-deciding Game 7 by a score of 3-5.
Our View:Iginla scored his fourth goal of the playoffs to tie the game at 1-1 in the first period, but the team scored just two more the rest of the way and came up short.
