In a room full of excited players ready to celebrate Jarome Iginla's next goal — No. 600 — Avalanche linemate Alex Tanguay stands out as the expert in the experience.
Tanguay played against Joe Sakic when the former Avalanche great and current general manager scored his 600th goal at Calgary in 2007. Tanguay was Sakic's Colorado teammate when he produced his 1,000th point in 1999. And Tanguay witnessed Iginla's 500th goal in 2012 and assisted on the Calgary goal that gave Iginla his 1,000th point in 2011.
"Those are things you remember throughout the course of your career," Tanguay said Wednesday.
