It was the talk of the hockey world over the weekend when Hockey Hall-of-Famer Jarome Iginla was interviewed by Boston media about a storm taking place in the area while no one seemingly had any idea who he is.

"I like the snow," Iginla told Boston 25's Lisa Pappas. "I like the winter, but not necessarily this. May be a little too much."

It is interesting that the reporter, camera operator and presumably several colleagues missed the fact that they were interviewing a hockey legend, especially considering Iginla spent a full season playing for the Bruins in hockey-crazed Boston. So, how does Iginla feel about all the attention the story has been getting?

"It was a bad angle on the top of my head," Iginla joked with the crew from TSN 1050's Overdrive.

"So we had to list through it at my expense at the dinner table," continued Iginla, referring to how his family was having a field day with the interview. "They were loving it. They were pulling up pictures of a dolphin, and then like an alien. My favourite is they were pulling up a debate on [social media] about how my head has changed. I appreciate one fan who said 'his head has never changed.' And then another guy is like 'It has! Look, here's an older picture! It never used to look like this!'"

Iginla who has always been a great sport and really nice guy, said the whole thing was really funny for him and his family.

"It was fun, but it's bad lighting. I don't think my head has changed, but it wasn't a good angle, for sure."
