The Jersey number thread

[Circa89]

This is going to be a season based on patients ( ville reference?). Therefore I am having fun travelling down memory lane for the year.

Favourite players to wear # ????

No 1. I recall Riggin, Turek and Mr. Cooley.
Fav is Turek! Love how he renegotiated his contract to pay him LESS!!

Jonas Hiller but not for his on ice performance. We took the kids to Red Rally and Hiller and another Flame, I think Dougie Hamilton? were doing pics with fans. My boys saw other kids getting them to sign autographs on their shirts and hats so they did the same. The usher decided my boys were the ones he would yell at because it was supposed to be pictures only. Jonas Hiller told him to get lost because he's doing this for fans. And Dougie told my son that guy was such a loser. I gained respect for those two in that moment.

#1 has been a tough number in my Flames fandom. Elliott was no good. McElhinney was just okay. Best is probably Hiller by default.
