Covid Jersey Vote - Best #2 Flames History
This one should be obvious.
Still chaffed that they haven't righted the wrong and have #2 in the rafters.
This one is funny in that they pretty much persuaded others to not where the number by the looks of it. Almost nothing other than a Commodore cup of coffee.

Something I learned not too long ago — MacInnis actually broke into the NHL wearing 22.

It still shocks me on just how many superstars the flames had in their prime era 30 years ago.

MacInnis had a better career as a Flame then he did as a Blue, but seems like- outside of Calgary, and even here they blew the messaging- this will never be properly acknowledged
yes when he first game up he was a defensive basket case with a hard shot, but that was rectified fairly early on.. at 21 he was a good regular, and by 85-86 he was great but his reputation took a while to catch up

MacInnis was not just the best #2, one could make a strong argument that he was one of the top 1-2 players to ever wear the Flames jersey.

The Forever a Flame program was a Ken King thing. I wonder if we'll see that program retired, and those numbers finally also retired?

I’ve said it before, but there should only be two numbers retired by the franchise, #12 and #2.
A jersey retirement should be for exceptional players only. All due respect to great players like Fleury, Lanny, Vernon, Neiwy, etc. Personally I like the forever a flame program as it recognizes franchise greats but doesn’t overdo it with a jersey retirement.

I'm just curious if there ever was a number that was super close between two players what would happen? A run off?

Forever a Flame was an Al McInnis thing, because he did not want to be retired here if he could not commit to be a solid member of the teams alumni group. I think Joe had similar sentiment. But with history #2 had with the flames they just wouldn't letup on the idea of honouring him.
