They did a Boston sports town rushmore which was iconic. Best in North America?

Orr, Russell, Williams and Brady

[Cali Panthers Fan]

My traditional answer has been Lanny, but I don't think we appreciate just how much Iginla did for this team and how incredible he was in his tenure. It's close, but Iggy's my all time #1. Lanny is close behind.

Yeah that’s incredible. Each player could (should?) be on the Rushmore for their sport.

Any Larry Bird omitted!

1. Iginla - no brainer. All-time team captain and best player.
2. Lanny - the face of the Cup-winning team and all-around team ambassador for decades.
3. MacInnis - my favourite player growing up but hardly the face of the team given the Blues connections.

[CroFlames]

Iginla is the greatest Flame ever.

Lanny is the most iconic.

They are the two that are undisputed to be on the Flames Mount Rushmore.

You could pick two more for a ton of different reasons. Niewey (peak performance) MacInnes (Conn Smythe, GP, pts), Fleury (longevity, pts) Gio (GP) even Johnny (pts) or Backlund (gp)

and Kipper and Vernon to the short list (amongst others)


for me 12,2,9 make sense as the first 3

[Coach]

top three are no-brainers to me. Iggy, Lanny, Kipper.

The 4th is a tough one, but only because Johnny didn't sign. If he was here, it would be. Otherwise there are at least a few to choose from for #4.

I'd give it to Regehr personally. He personified what fans want from Flames players. But actual pts and trophies and such probably doesn't get him there.

[Lanny'sDaMan]

The Username is of course first. Then Iggy Vernon and lastly Badger Bob

[The Fisher Account]

Begrudgingly, Fleury is on our Mt. Rushmore.

I'd just throw the biggest garbage bag I could find over his face

[dino7c]

Iggy/Lanny are 2 of them for sure

[Buff]

McDonald - Iginla - MacInnis - Vernon

[REDVAN]

For me, it's Iginla first.

[dissentowner]

This was really easy. These 4 are the locks imo.

Iginla, McDonald, Fleury, MacInnis.

[zamler]

Has to be Al MacInnis he won the Conn Smythe.

I think in various orders the first three are easy.

Then guessing not so much.

I considered a multi vote to pick four, but two issues with that.

1) No controls to make people only take 4 (could skew things)
2) No fun in not knowing the order

[Tbull8]

Iggy
Lanny
Macinnis
Kipper

those are my 4

[Reggie Dunlop]

[activeStick]

1. Iginla - Best player the Flames have ever had

2. Lanny - Iconic Flame and face of the Flames forever

3. MacInnis - Best defenseman for the Flames

4. Unsure... One guy could have been here and was on his way but he chose Columbus instead...

Oof. Starts with Tim Hunter. And Oliwa, yet no Berube.
