UFA-to-be Iginla on Bruins: "I love it here"

Monday there was a note about Jarome Iginla and the Boston Bruins having already held preliminary contract extension discussions. Basically, the Bruins couldn't officially sign him until July 1 anyway, for cap-related reasons.

CSNNE.com has this offering from Iginla now as well:

“I love it here. Honestly the season is going so fast, and we’re just trying to keep going as a group and keep getting better,” said Iginla. “I’ve said it a lot, but it’s been a lot of fun this year. I’ve been getting great opportunities, I’ve had fun winning, and it’s a great group of guys.

“I’m not sure what the future holds, but I’m just hoping that winning on the ice, and winning as a group, takes care of all that stuff. The focus isn’t really there [on what will happen this summer], but I’ve been really fortunate to get a second opportunity here. It’s gone as good as I could have hoped for, and even better from everything I’ve experienced in the city all the way to my kids’ minor hockey. It’s been fun. The more success you have as a team gives you more chances to stay together as a team.”
