I don't think it is necessarily the older crowd vs the younger crowd. Some feel that Gelinas and his playoff run was more important than Reinhart's contributions. Others don't agree. I think Gelinas will always be fondly remembered in Calgary for those huge goals (not to mention the leadership he brought). It doesn't mean that voting for Reinhart is belittling Gelinas' accomplishments, however. Reinhart was a very amazing player in his time with Calgary and was a truly gifted player. To vote for him isn't saying that the "Eliminator" was wasn't huge for the history of the Flames. Just your personal perception of who was more important to the franchise in their respective times here.
