Jay Feaster is a Dream-Killer

EDIT: JAY FEASTER IS A DREAM-KILLER

Hey Flames fans, remember earlier in the season when GM Jay Feaster did that terrible thing called “signing O’Reilly to an offer sheet that the Avalanche almost immediately matched because Feaster didn’t understand the current CBA?” Well, Feaster was at it again yesterday, apparently. This time, though, it was at the expense of Boston GM Peter Chiarelli and the Bruins. I don’t know about anyone else, but last night when I went to bed, I had dreams of the #12 Boston jersey I was going to order today when it was supposed to be announced that Jarome Iginla would be joining us here in TitleTown for the remainder of the season. WELL, imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to find out that Iginla is a… PENGUIN?! Excuse me? I think I will go back to bed. Stay tuned for more after the Chiarelli statement.

And to my fellow heartbroken Bruins fans: if it makes you feel any better, the first Auto-Fill option that appeared when I typed “Jay Feaster” into the Google search bar was “Jay Feaster is an idiot.” Google, you’re so smart.

JAROME IGINLA IS A BOSTON BRUIN

Tonight, in the midst of what has been a great Wednesday Night Rivalry game between the Boston Bruins and the Montréal Canadiens, all signs for veteran Calgary Flames forward Jarome Iginla are pointing toward Beantown. It doesn’t look like anything is super official just yet, but various social media posts from TSN correspondents like Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger are increasingly more convincing as the night has progressed. The Flames’ #12 was a healthy scratch for their game tonight, and here on the East coast we saw D Matt Bartkowski and C Alexander Khokhlachev scratched in Boston and Providence respectively. Looks like some people are getting ready for an official trade announcement!

So how should Bruins fans feel about this? Flattered, I suppose, since Boston was on a list of only four teams that Iginla gave to Flames GM Jay Feaster, as a term for forfeiting the left wing’s no-movement clause. Some B’s fans have been wary of this trade since the rumors surrounding a possible trade of Iginla began to surface – many have said that at 35, Iginla is past his prime and won’t be worth what teams will have to give up in order to acquire him. Others argue that what the Bruins need to focus on, especially as the trade deadline approaches, is finding someone to alleviate the hot mess that is the Bruins blue line. Then there are the nutcases who would rather take a 3^rd string goaltender because they have some twisted idea that goaltending is Boston’s biggest problem… but I won’t get into that right now. Back to Jarome Iginla. I personally am thrilled with this news, and I am going to have sweet, sweet Stanley cup dreams and visions of #12s dancing around in my head. Welcome to Boston, Jarome!
