Some great players have wore #11. It's exciting to think where Backlund could be in a few years. The amount he's grown into his game, the emergence of his leadership and how he's embraced this city really bodes well for his future.

He only scored 13 points but yes, I do recall him playing with those 2...I think that was after Hrdina went down in the first round???

The 3rd line I'm referring to is Patterson playing with Otto, but in that season, I think it was...

M.Hunter - Otto - MacLellan

...once the trade deadline passed.

I could have my years confused though.

Went with Yeller on this one. Loved him in Colorado, really loved him in Calgary. Every team needs one just as much as they need a goalie and a top centerman.

Patterson got my vote but Yelle is right there as well. Patterson because he helped win a cup.

Lots of great players wore 11 for the Flames, but Colin was someone amazing and instrumental in that 89 cup win. Yelle was a great player, for those who never saw Colin play, Yelle would be an easy choice, but for me 11 is always Colin.

If I was only considering time with Calgary and not Atlanta, I'd probably go with Patterson with the slight edge over Yelle.
I don't understand what you mean here. Patterson never played for Atlanta.

When he first came to the Flames, he played on the tic-tac-toe line.

Colin Patterson - 11

Richie Kromm - 22

Carey Wilson - 33

I voted for Bob Macmillan, who did.

I would vote for Patterson if I was ignoring time that Macmillan played for Atlanta.
