Have always loved the generational differences in historic things like this. Can't blame anyone under the age of 40 for going more current, and Roman Turek would be my vote if the first ten years of Flames history in Calgary didn't happen.
But I'm old ...
So I remember Pat Riggin as the Flame's first #1 goaltender making a huge difference in the team's first playoff run (and the franchise's first series victory after going 0 for in Atlanta).
He had a 6-4 record and a .904 save percentage in an era where nobody was .900+. Was a machine in upsetting the Flyers.
