10 years ago today, Jarome Iginla scored his 500th NHL goal

During his time with the Calgary Flames, Jarome Iginla was one of the most feared players in the National Hockey League for many reasons.

Iginla’s one-timer was the stuff of legend and he had surprisingly soft hands for a power forward. He also had a knack for punishing his opponents with hard, clean hits and standing toe-to-toe in fights with some of the league’s heavyweights.

Over his 1,219 games with the Flames, Iginla became the franchise’s all-time leader in both goals (525) and points (1,095). How many of those goals came off heavy slap shots from the left side or a deadly accurate wrister off the rush?
