With both Iggy and Gio it's hard to separate their influence as captains from the coaches they played for. Who was really leading the team in '04, Iggy or Sutter? Who has really been leading the Flames recently, Gio or Hartley?
In terms of on-ice performance of leadership, I can't think of anyone being as powerful a leader as Iggy was in the '04 cup run. That was probably the pinnacle captaincy performance in Flames history. Gio hasn't achieved that level yet.
