Favourites right now would be Lindholm, Andersson, Kylington and Zadorov.

Favourites recently have been Tkachuk, Bennett, Ferland, Hathaway, and Jagr.

Mostly I seem to favour Swedish guys, guys with some attitude, and guys who play like a wrecking ball. If we could find a Swedish player with attitude that plays like a wrecking ball I’m not sure how I would contain myself. Andersson is definitely my favourite right now though.

Francis does that with every big name player in Flames history, he tries to chase them out of town. Fleury, Roberts, Iggy, Gaudreau, Tkachuk, it is his schtick. If Huby bounces back to a star forward you can bet your ass Francis will start with him too.

Braithwaite
McGratton (especially his last season)
Hathaway
Bennett

Zadorov

And I’m more excited for Wolf than I have been for any prospect in the last decade. Homegrown elite goaltending seems like an unrealistic fantasy in the last 2 decades.

During our worst period (and our best post-Cup period) he was our best player. By all accounts, a freaking gentleman off the ice, and a monster on the ice. Loyal to the Flames for 17 years. As special as they come.

How could he not be in your favorites list? Genuine question.
Going to make my list later when I have my more time, but for me anyway, I just always felt like my favourite player couldn't be the best player on the team. It just seemed too obvious/popular.

No likable players might be a stretch, Tanev is likable, Dube likable, Toffoli likable. But not really guys that you need to have on the team, guys that you connect with. I think that is the bigger thing with this team no player that you would be sad if they left, no prospect that is a "can't miss guy" or worth getting excited about.

You look at the players listed here- Iggy, Kipper, Gaudreau, Tkachuk, even Fleury that I can't stand- these are guys that if you/when you lost them the team took a big hit. There isn't a player like that on this team. There isn't a player on this team that if they were traded would be a big deal or big loss.

Rasmus would probably be my favorite current Flame. Toffoli too.

I had a soft spot for #12 and therefore Tom Lysiak was my favorite Flames in the 70's in Atlanta.

Never played in CGY therefore I kept cheering for whoever wore #12.

Don Lever
Hakan Loob
Paul Fenton
Jarome Iginla

and now no one as #12 Flames jersey is retired so maybe I should retire too!
