2004 Iggy hands down versus any captain anywhere. What he did that playoff series was beyond human! Leading his team!
I got lots of hate in me about Iggy, much prefer Gio as captain, Gio shows his teammates what it takes to be an nhler day to day and how we play. Great leader.
What Jarome did in 2004.......... He not only led his team he willed them to win. Every player on that roster bought in! Even a young Mark Giordano.
Iggy has been an overpaid floater for years, still talented, but he earned that right to be a floater.
Pick the best captain ever? Lanny or Gio would be the long term choice, short term Iggy in 2004. Nothing comes close to that, not just with the Flames, the entire league, and the world at that moment! 2004 he was probably the most dominant hockey player. You couldn't get a better leader at that moment.
I would also like to mention Class? How the players handle themselves on and off the ice! Those top three for me, Its a tie!
