I don't post much, but it would be hard to underestimate Lanny's effect on the Flames and the community as a whole in his time. I don't want to turn the thread in to an Iggy vs. Lanny debate because they were both amazing faces of the franchise in their respective periods, but Lanny was not just the Flames, he was southern Alberta, Calgary, and so on.
How many athletes are still able to use their notoriety to sell cars and draw people to events (nearly) 30 years after their last game?
Lanny would have to be on my Mount Flamesmore.
