It has been said so many times that it might as well be cliche: Jarome Iginla is a class act. Mike Brophy's latest sitdown with the megastar does little to sway that opinion.

He was outscored by seven other Blazers in his draft year. Still, his jersey is headed to the rafters of the cozy 5,000 seater back home.
