Who are your ten favourite (and least favourite) Flames ever?

[Yamer]

It's damn hard to narrow down only 10 forwards. Conversely, it's damn hard to think of at least 10 Flames I outright disliked. Here goes:

Favorites:
Mikkaa Kiprusoff
Jarome Iginla
Theo Fleury
Mark Giordano
Rick Tabarracci
Brian McGratton
Lance Bouma
Jiri Hudler
Andrew Ference
Matthew Tkachuk

Least Favorite:
Dennis Wideman
Todd Bertuzzi
Bryan Marchment
Brad Stuart
Tim Erixon (stretching here)
Adam Fox (same stretch)

Non Favourites

Everyone else who doesn't have the last name of Loyns, because that's not awesome.

Too bad he didn't have much of a career because "Burning" Loyns would have been an awesome nickname as a Flame.

Really? That's the strangest choice I've seen in this thread so far. Pardon me for asking, but why?

[mrdonkey]

I started watching only after 04 so I’ll just keep my list to that.

Top 10:

1. Iggy
2. Kipper
3. Reggie
4. Gio
5. Johnny
6. Conroy
7. Lombardi (don’t know why, kind of a Scorpion pick I guess)
8. Gelinas
9. Darryl Sutter (the coach, not the GM)
10. Backlund

HM to Theo who I got to see only once, but it was the pre-season game against the Isles where he scored that wicked shootout winner. Never had so much fun at a game. Shoutout to Jokinen as well (after coming to terms with the fact that he wasn’t the #1 centre we’d hoped for).

Bottom 10:

1. Mike Smith
2. Gulutzan
3. Elliott
4. Wideman
5. Brent Sutter
6. Eriksson
7. Brouwer
8. Feaster
9. Baertschi
10. Tom

HM to Neal and Bouwmeester, who I really liked initially and then grew to dislike.

[SuperMatt18]

Favourites (in no order - was born in 1988 so most of the team is post-cup win):

Macinnis
Fleury
Brathwaite
Iginla
Conroy
Lombardi (my namesake on this site)
Cammalleri
Backlund
Giordano
Gaudreau

HM: Lanny, Loob, Mullen - liked them in watching past highlights but wasn't old enough to really remember them or watch them live.

Most Hated
Suter (Nothing to do with his time on the Flames but hate him for his cross check to Kariya's head before Nagano)
Zyuzin
Eriksson
Neidermayer
Pardy
Weimer
Brouwer
Ian White
Morris
Elliott (Never have I hated an individual player more than I did after that Ducks series)

[Puppet Guy]

Favourites, in alphabetical order because I have too much time on my hands:

Mark Giordano
Jarome Iginla
Miikka Kiprusoff
Lanny McDonald

Gary Roberts (my favourite Flame, period)
Gary Suter

Least Favourite, also alphabetically:

Iginla, Kipper, Stajan, Conroy, Backlund, Giordana, Colborne, Lombardi, Jokkinen, Bennett
Least favourite:
Neal, Elliott, Erickson, Brouwer, Smith, Baertschi, Hamilton, Erixon

[troutman]

In no particular order:

Tim Hunter - he gave his all for his teammates
Lanny - I loved at the end of his career how he hit every opponent he could on every shift
MacInnis - that slapshot intimidated goalies
Iginla - the greatest Flame
Kipper - made us a contender
Vernon - under-rated around here
Giordano - giv's r all the time
Kent Nilsson - unreal talent
Joey Mullen - classy sniper, wished he was a Flame longer
Hakan Loob - see Mullen

[FlamesAddiction]

Bottom 10

Lakovic

[Sandman]

Favorites:

1)Iggy, of course
2)Roberts-His 3 goal game in his return from retirement is still one of my
favorite Flames memories
3)Fleury-most exciting ever, also a candidate for most hated-I've met him a few
times....
4)Kiprusoff
5)MacDonald-he was our hero when the Oil had Gretzky
6)Regehr-tunnel of death, baby!
7)MacInnis-everyone winced when he wound up....
8)Conroy-hated Sutter for letting him go to the Kings.
9)Tkachuk-totally an old-time player
10)McCarthy-toughest Flame ever

Honorable mention to Hnat Domenichelli, who I thought was going to be a superstar playing with Iggy-and same with Bertuzzi, and my Irish boy Nolan.

[Dion]

My least favourite Flame without a doubt has to be Kent Nilsson. He was the most talented player to ever wear a Flames Jersey but had an indifferent attitude towards the game. On some nights he would have you in awe with the plays he made and the goals he scored and on others you'd be left wondering where he disappeared too.

He drove then coach Bob Johnson crazy because he never knew which player would show up for each game. In the end he was trade to Minnesota for a 2nd round pick that ended up being Joe Nieuwendyk.

[Sandman]

Most Hated:

1)Anders Eriksson-Worst full-time Flames player ever, still got 18-20 minutes a
night. Reminded me of the fat kid from "Stand by Me".
2)Brouwer-yuck.
3)Zyuzin-Still think he was trying to figure skate while everyone else was
playing hockey. If Brouwer is the Scarecrow, he's the Lion AND the Tinman.
4)Chris Butler-I once had an argument with several posters on HF, who claimed
this guy was a top-4 defenceman on any team in the league. Are you kidding
me!?!?
5)Ian White-If you are small, better be able to skate!
6)Wideman-If you are average sized, better be able to skate!
7)NikLas Grossmann-If you are huge and thick-headed, with no hockey IQ,
better be able to skate!
8)Steve Staios-what is it that you do, Steve?
9)Chris Drury- pouty yankee boy, we liked Ted better!
10)Elliot-knew he would suck, and he did.
