Covid Jersey Vote - Best #1 Flames History
Here's a good mindless daily poll that by number may get us through the quarantine.

Oh and decided on Calgary history only ... if that's a problem say it now and I'll adjust.

GOAT!
I don't know why I always think Lemelin wore #1 instead of #31...

Have always loved the generational differences in historic things like this. Can't blame anyone under the age of 40 for going more current, and Roman Turek would be my vote if the first ten years of Flames history in Calgary didn't happen.

He did wear #1 briefly in Atlanta, the year before the team moved to Calgary.

Should be Riggin but Don Edwards was one of my first favourite players so had to vote for him

I was so excited when they traded for Don Edwards ... really didn't work out though.
Hockey was changing and the west (Edmonton) were feasting on goaltenders that came out to challenge shooters by passing around them.

It's weird that I don't really remember Edwards that much. For some reason, my goalie line goes Riggin -> Reggie -> Vernie -> Freddie -> Kipper with a bunch of filler in between. Well... filler and others that I purposely choose not to remember, like Kidd.

Edwards has also had a terrible post nhl life. His parents were murdered and he suffers from ptsd and has basically withdrawn from the world

I voted for Hiller because I think he had the highest single-season peak out of all these guys.

Pat friggen Riggin.....he was OK here for a bit but was really good when he went to Landover.

Turek, Hiller and Elliott all had great stretches but never for more than a full season. I remember McBackup finally notching his first win and getting a shaving cream pie during his postgame interview. Riggin amd Edwards were before my time.VIDEO

I voted for Turek but it’s pretty close. I did really love when he gave himself a pay cut. I thought it showed great character.

Riggin backstopped the Flames to the Stanley Cup semifinals in their first year in Calgary. This gets my vote.

Thanks for bringing this back, Bingo. Funny, I was thinking about these best player by number threads a few days ago. Great idea!

I assume we can skip #2? I mean, given that nobody's worn it since Commodore, I'd reckon he's the obvious choice.
