And we wonder why we lose good posters for months/years at a time.

For the old-timey Flames, Steve Konroyd was a great stay-at-home defenseman. I always liked him. Played almost 900 games in the NHL.

Rick Vaive, when I was too young and dumb to realize the Leafs were trash.

Or maybe – and here's an idea – if a thread doesn't interest you, don't click on it. I'm sure there are other things you can do with your time besides complain that other people are having wrongfun.
twack each other in the bags and make up already

What is scary about the 60s and 70s?

Brian Rafalski - 11 years in the NHL and only 2 of them did he score fewer than 40 points from the blue line (one of those he had 36 points in 69 games, which is a 43 point pace). The guy was never a franchise D but was maybe the best "other guy" ever, as he had that position on teams led by both Scott Niedermayer and Nick Lidstrom.

Vincent Damphousse - 1205 career points. The dude had more points in the 1990s than Lindros, Fedorov, Mogilny, Selanne, Bure... the list goes on. Just was never flashy about it.

Alexei Zhamnov - Not quite Damphousse level production but I just remember him as being a really fun player to watch, and quite a solid career with 719 points in just over 800 games.

Rejean Lemelin - he was my first favourite Flame. There was a time before Vernon when he carried the team on his back.

I also thought Willy Plett and Paul Reinhart were awesome.

Few remember that he attended a Flames training camp before he broke out
