Kiprusoff for me. Best goalie to ever wear a Flames’ jersey and for a time was the best goalie in the world. Very few players that have played for the Flames can say they were the best in the world at their position, it’s a special thing, and to do it on the Flames deserves recognition.
He spent nearly his entire career here and retired a Flame. He was as professional as they come and remains that way to this day, and is one of two players (the other having secured the first spot) that brought this team out of the basement of the NHL, out of danger for relocation, and gave fans something to cheer for again. Iginla and Kiprusoff carried this team on their back and took us to the finals, something few other players can even argue for.
