Humanitarian and community contributor, absolutely. Lanny is amazing.
Two amazing Flames, one with a ring. However, one got robbed of a ring.
Single season scoring record in the 80's... It was a much higher scoring league back then. A better comparison would be among his peers in the NHL. He was 2nd in goals, which is no small accomplishment, but he was not in the top 10 in points.
Iggy scored the most goals and most points in 2001/02, meaning he was the best player in the world at the time.
Lanny is undoubtedly one of the best Flames of all time, and I would say he's the team's best ambassador of all time as well. Iggy is the best player to ever put on the Flames jersey though.
