Jersey Poll - All Time #22

[killer_carlson]

favorite Flame ever (tied with Nilsson). Nick Fotiu.

[the_only_turek_fan]

I went with Daymond Langkow.

Very consistent, very underrated.

You can't go wrong with either Conny or Daymond.

[jlh2640]

Conroy over Langkow. Love them both

Because asking an irrational question does not a valid point make?

[Puppet Guy]

Had to go with Conroy, but it was pretty tempting to pick Ron Stern.

[calgaryred]

for me its
1# Conroy
2# Langkow
3# Bullard

[Machiavelli]

Conroy is a beauty.

Langkow was awesome too, but Conroy really was a huge part of the soul of the team.

Why on Earth would you pick Conroy at #24 instead of Jim Peplinski?

I like Langkow too, but it's Connie at #22 and Pepper at #24.

So wanted to vote Nicky!!!!

Although Mike Bullard was very good as well, I voted Conroy, better first stint.

[goodyear]

I want Conroy to win both #22 and #24.

No way Peplinski doesn't win #24.

[Mango]

Craig Conroy is a special human being.

[Calgary4LIfe]

Definitely Conroy here. What he has meant as a player, and now in the head office.

Deep list though. Stern, Langkow, even Bullard. Stern was easily my second choice. He was a warrior every night who never quit.

[Yrebmi]

I would have rather voted Conny for 24 and let Lanks have this one. Voted Cap Conny

Edit: forgot about Pepper....... dang. Lanks was underated and really good, but gotta go Conroy

[BACKCHECK!!!]

I've been making my choice based on who achieved the highest on-ice level of play as a Flame.

And for my money, Langkow circa 2006-2008 takes the cake on this list.

Off topic but that 06-07 team still kills me. They should have been so much better but just quit on Playfair in the playoffs (IMO) and could not find a way to win on the road.

3-30 Goal scorers, and 5-20 goal scorers. 4 players over 0.95 PPG. A 50 point defenseman and a d-core that was deep. With a top 5 goalie on top of it all.

Just weren't the same after they traded Kobasew and Ference though, and the team just didn't show up in the playoffs.

Yeah, I think a lot of people forget that the Flames were a serious contender for a couple of years.

[darthma]

Conroy is awesome. Best interview ever.

[FlatLandFlamesFan]

another tough one Stern was a fav , as was Langkow nut Connie was something special

[Vulcan]

I found an old thread on Mike Bullard who I thought was pretty good.

FCF

How soon they forget....Mike Bullard came to CGY in one of most interesting 'tampering stories' I have heard.

Bullard was playing and hating it in Pittsburgh on a floundering team where he was racking up numbers without really much in the way of defensive responsibilities or inclinations..this guy was a scoring machine in Minor Hockey and Major Junior.

Story goes that our coaches were sick of Quinn whining when he didn't get to play with Lanny, and targeted Mike Bullard from Pitt. for a trade. Apparently Pitt. would not deal Bullard straight across for Quinn, so Jim Peplinski phoned Mike Bullard, and mentioned they were trying to trade for him. Next practice Bullard told the coach his coaching was a joke, and the rest is history.

This was actually pretty common knowledge amongst Flames Fans in CGY at one time. I think it was even in the Sun IIRC.

Regardless of the accurracy of the story, Bullard went from a disgruntled -45 scoring forward on Pitt. to a +25 103 point player(2nd only to Loob) in his last year in CGY. He was also Calgary's top producing player in the 1986-87 playoffs, and the best Flame by a mile in that series. I can attest to that from memory.

From what I know 'Bully' was heart broken after he was dealt to St. Louis for Gilmour and and so digusted after being moved again to Philly later that year he snubbed the NHL and went to play in Europe for the rest of his career.

Very shifty and exciting player to watch for most of his career.
