Who are your ten favourite (and least favourite) Flames ever?

[shortminute]

Back in 97 I was bartending at a private function and just to be clear I didn’t follow hockey back then. Jim Peplinski hung out with me at the bar and I can’t recall how, but we were both laughing and cracking jokes. We carried on for some time and I asked him, “hey buddy what do you do?” Peplinski said, “I’m Jim Peplinski.” To which I answered back “the car salesman?” He laughed his butt off.

Jim Peplinski is my favourite Flame.

Gaudreau ... I don't think that's fair and it's too fresh of a loss for anyone to judge that now.

Fox - I hate him for not signing with us, but he didn't play here (so was never a Flame) and wanted to play where he wanted too - if you're that good - I guess you can dictate where you play and who would want to come to Canada anyhow with all the border issues, I don't blame him (or them).

Ferland was great but not top 10. But one of the best Flames.

I can't really think of many ex-Flames that I hated as that's a strong word. I didn't care for Mike Smith but generally it's less the player and more about head coaches overplaying players that didn't deserve the ice time. I would get down on those players but nothing personal. Most frustrating player ever has to be Blake Comeau.
