Lanny gets my vote here, tinged with sentimentality no doubt. His 66 goal season is the greatest individual season in Flames history, IMO. Neck and neck with Gretzky for the goal scoring lead all year.
Caps his regular season career off with a stunning run (7 goals in 7 games) amid seriously degrading skills to get to 500 goals.
Scores most iconic goal in Flames history.
Prior to the Flames arriving in town, we were force fed the Leafs on HNIC so he was a household name. Having this guy in a Flames uniform was a huge thrill for kids like me.
