{allcanada} NO TRADE CHOICE REGRETS FOR IGINLA

Sons of Anarchy, Season 6 - Sons of Anarchy

Ahead of the Bruins facing the Pittsburgh Penguins Wednesday, The Boston Herald reflects back on Jarome Iginla's decision to accept a trade to the Penguins over the Bruins at the trade deadline. And then losing to the Bruins in the playoffs.

"It was hard to do the handshake, I'll tell you that. When you're that close to a Stanley Cup finals and you're done . . . the handshake was hard," said Iginla, who has been one of the Bruins' best players this season. "But the time it took to get over the decisions? At the time I tried to make the best decision I could. Honestly, when I made it, I knew there was a good chance we'd be seeing the Bruins down the road. I was committed to it. You make (the decision), and you do your best. It didn't work out, but it wasn't meant to be. It's not something I dwell on. I really try to just keep going forward and keep moving."

On the Penguins: "They're a very good team. I had a good experience there," Iginla said of the Penguins. "They're a top organization, and you get to see how they operate and learn more about different situations. It was a great experience. You wish you could have gone further. You want to win. But it was fun to be a part of it. It was fun to be in the conference finals. Everything up to the conference finals was great. It was obviously a sour ending for the Penguins and me, but it was still a lot of fun."
