I honestly thought Iggy would win in a landslide in a poll like this.

Iggy basically did everything Lanny did, except win that last game of the season. And by that time, Lanny wasn't the go-to guy anymore. What's more, Iggy did it with less, and went on to accomplish amazing scoring feats afterwards. Not only that, Iggy was universally recognized as one of the toughest guys in the NHL in his heyday, regardless of captain status or not.

Gio has a long ways to go before he is can be considered a contender for that title between those two Flame Greats.

EDIT: Iggy's goal total would be even more impressive if he didn't sit through 2 long lockouts. I would say easily another 50 to 60 goals.
