This was a guy who could do it all. Universally respected and loved around the league. A legendary and loyal player who commanded respect, and if he didn't get it, he would beat it out of you. A leader, a scorer, a tough guy, a sweetheart. A guy who played hard hockey, and yet is defying the rules of longevity. He's done it all.

He's on my list. My only explanation for this is posters who've been fans for 5 years or less. Despite not having a ring, he's got to be the most highly regarded Flame outside of Calgary, and he has the most individual and international accomplishments. Multiple gold medals, the Pearson award (which I bet is the most respected award among players). The only Flame I can think of who an opponent ever called the best player in the league to his face.
