The Blackhawks/Flames Talk

from the CP via TSN,
The Blackhawks seem to have made it their mission to harry and harass Flames captain Jarome Iginla. TSN commentator Pierre McGuire, whose perch is between the players’ benches, repeated his commentary Tuesday saying he’d never seen a star player like Iginla take as much verbal abuse as the Calgary captain has this series.
“This has been going on incessantly since Game 1 and it hasn’t stopped,” McGuire said. “That’s why Jarome at the end of the game, went off.”
But Iginla insists it was the cross-check to Bourque and not any of the Blackhawks crossing the line in their insults and taunts.
“There wasn’t any one thing as far as verbal that got to me,” the Flames captain insisted. “I can take that. Verbal abuse is nothing. Trash talking is fine.”

As I remember, the trash talking got to McGuire. At one point last game, he got all emotional and said that some of the Blackhawks’ comments had crossed the line.
I’d pay good money to know what they said.

They said, “Hey, Douche Canoe, how’s it goin’?”.

For some reason, I’m inclined to believe Iginla over McG. Call me crazy…
