Jersey Poll - All Time #5

[Bingo]

Great question ... I've gone by memory for the most part, and I search any player in the Flames list to see if they appear more than once.

I'm not sure, but I think Phil was more of a #3, in which case I would select him over Dion.

Gotta go with Giordano, but boy did I love Sheehy. It wasn't that easy of a choice!

For those that can't really remember or were too young, you might enjoy this. Everyone knows Otto was probably the league's best shadow, and he made life miserable for Mark Messier. Wait.. who is on Gretzky? Neil Sheehy!

Really great listening to him talk about the character on that team.

You can skip to about 1:15.


Ok, wait a minute.. McSorely is riding shotgun protecting Gretzky and Kurri. What is Sheehy going to do? Well, for starters, he is going to try and get McSorely in the box for free.. when that doesn't work.. meh, just punch him in the face and knock him down.



He was never an outright goon - just a tough player who would run through the wall for your team.

Gio and as time goes on it will become even more definitive of a choice.

Who can forget Neil Sheets and his ballet lessons, but have to vote Giordano.
