Since 1980, a total of 54 goalies have played at least one minute in the regular season for the Flames. How many can you name without using Google?

I got 38, as it turns out that "really fat Russian goalie" never played in the regular season.

I am also ashamed to say I completely forgot one of Calgary's "largest" names, and I also couldn't remember the goalie we got back from Toronto in the Gilmour trade

A few additional hints for some of the more obscure (?) ones:

Spoiler!

Edit: A few more hints (if you need them!)

Spoiler!

P.S. I was inspired to create this after reading an article in the Athletic where Mark Giordano was asked if he could remember the 12 goalies he scored shorthanded goals against (https://theathletic.com/4100176/2023...-handed-goals/).

So in honor of that, here is your ranking system:

0-10 - Back to the gym
11-19 - 2004 to 2006 - AHL Gio
20-29 - 2007/08 - Moscow Gio
30-39 - 2009 to 2013 - Top four Gio
40-49 - 2014 to 2016 - All-Star Gio
50-54 - 2018/19 - Norris Gio

Answer key will be spoilered in the next post below. Good luck!

Spoiler! - His nickname was the Calgary Tower - His mask featured a Ghostbusters theme - He was traded to Colorado for a second (!) round pick - He was traded from Pittsburgh in 1989 - He helped get his no good team into the 2006 NHL finals - He helped his no good team win multiple Stanley Cups in the 80’s - He played college hockey in Providence with Mark Jankowski - He was a first round pick in 2006 - He was a first round pick in 1988 P.S.
