 Poll
Results: Iginla's Totals

November
25, 2001
Two
weeks ago, with Jarome Iginla starting off what
was to be a 15 game
point streak,
Calgarypuck.com asked
it's readers to project
the final season goal
total for the dominant
power-forward. It
seems ironic, that
today, the day the final
vote totals are tallied,
Jarome Iginla has scored
his 20th of the season
in only his 23rd game. Quite
likely, the conservative
voters from 10 days ago
would love nothing more
than a
"do-over" in
order to project a
higher total. Only
4% of those responding
felt that Iginla would
come up short of the
forty goal mark this
season, while 10% felt Iginla
would topple Lanny
McDonald's 66 goal
record set in the
1982-83 season. In-between,
a majority of 86% feel
he will score somewhere
between forty and sixty
goals. The
largest classification
had Iginla at 40 plus
goal at 36%. The
next largest group, 29%,
had Iginla topping the
fifty goal mark. The
Flames haven't had a 40
goal scorer since the
1995-96 season when Theo
Fleury hit the twine 46
times. That was the last
season the Flames
appeared in the
playoffs. The
Flames last 50 goal
scorer was in 1991-92
with Gary Roberts doing
the honors. Overall
the Flames have had 11
different players score
40 or more in a season,
including; Kent Nilsson,
Joe Mullen, Robert
Reichel, Theo Fleury,
Gary Roberts, Joe
Niewendyk, Mike Bullard,
Hakan Loob, Guy
Chouinard, Lanny
McDonald. The
club's 50 goal men
include; Lanny McDonald,
Gary Roberts, Joe
Niewendyk, Joe Mullen,
Theo Fleury, Guy
Chouindard, Hakan Loob. Comments
from the pollsters ...
"what
a great season, I'm
stoked"
11/22/01 "Hart
Trophy" 11/12/01 "I've
made bets the last 3
years that Iggy would
get 40. Hopefully (for
the Flames and myself)
this is the year I'll
collect." 10/30/01 "wow
remember when we could
churn out a 50 goal man
year after year? times
have changed"
10/30/01 "It
depends on the rest of
the team's play. If they
don't pitch in, the
opposition will key on
Iginla like they did
with Bure last
year." 10/30/01
