DONE DEAL: Captain Calgary is here to stay!

The Calgary Flames have finally officially announced the contract extension of their franchise player. Jarome Iginla is set to remain a Calgary Flame for the next 6 seasons.

This is a huge deal, especially considering some members of the media more or less saying he was gonzo after this season and would receive over $8 million on the open market. Now while that was a possibility, "some" members of the media already had it in stone. Congratulations "some" members of the Calgary media, you've made yourselves look like idiots yet again...

So enough about my bitterness towards "some" members of the media, I have extreme gratitude towards the Iginla family for dedicating themselves to the city and team, and the Flames ownership for their dedication to keep their franchise player.

...Now we await a combination of "Kipper wants out of Calgary" rumors spewed by "some" members of the Calgary media, and of course his inevitable contract extension to complete the tri-fecta of cornerstone deals.

Darryl Sutter's gettin it done this summer. Great work!
