I could be wrong though but that's how I recall what happens.

That's how I remember it too. I always thought Gilmour should have been captain and assumed Riser had some kind of grudge not related to G.'s play as a Flame.

The way I remember it Gilmour was up for salary arbitration and lost. He felt it was fixed as the salary arbitrator, the night before the arbitration, sat with Riser during the game. I'd feel like I'd been treated unfairly too.

Sure so Risebrough had won. He didn't have to do anything. Gilmour would have sulked a bit but then settled down. Riser escalated it.

I agree. I was sure Riserbrough had some kind of vendetta with Gilmour. He was also trying to show his team that he is the boss. I like Risebrough as a player but hated him as a GM.

Riser said he disliked Gilmour and he took everything personally.
He also said he learned from that, what an ass.
Flames played hardball with all their players.

Bertuzzi. I put my hate aside (barely) while he played for the Flames. But I can't forget or forgive the Steve Moore incident.

Grunge against Cliff F for trading Hull. You could of got Ramage and Wamsley for draft picks and something else. Then whoever was the GM (Coates?) that let St.Louis walk for nothing. Two hall of famers that could of changed the direction of this franchise thru the 90's and up till today.

Denis Morel....that one was clearly in the net in 1990.
Kelly Hrudey and his stupid black pads that disguised the puck.
Robert Reichel...that was a wide open net, his head was in Germany. idiot.
Peter Forsberg. Would be injured all year than light the Flames up for 5 points and go back on IR.

So you are saying I should be a Leafs fan? F that.

Marty St. Louis for many valid reasons
everything related to the Vancouver Canucks
everything related to the Edmonton Oilers
the Anaheim Ducks when playing in Anaheim

That is quite literally the stupidest thing I've read today. Now granted "today" is only seven minutes old, but your gripe is idiotic.
I've hated the Oilers for as long as I can remember. Steve Smith was my favorite player until I was like 12 (wore #5 in minor hockey), only because of '86. I am not some clueless dope who's only going to switch my allegiances because of where I grew up. Sorry, but that type of person is not what I would consider to be a true sports fan.
Sincerely, Flames fan in Edmonton

Aside from those already mentioned - cam janssen. I remember his flying elbow to rookie Prust's jaw back in '08 or '09. Prust was eating through a straw for a month. Next few games he got the better of Sarich and Roy(?) I think as well. Running around like a complete goof. One of the dirtiest players out there.
Couldn't find a video of the elbow, but I did find this revenge gif, which made me smile:

Incorrectly using "of" rather than "have"... 
But in all seriousness, Healey. In 2004 against the Red Wings he was unbearable. His love of Curtis Joseph blinded him to anything Calgary was doing. It was as if he felt that the Flames should just roll over for his buddy. "Who is this Kiprusoff guy? Doesn't he know not to show up CuJo??"
From a Flames perspective, I'll go with Cale Hulse. I've met him once and he was a great guy, but... as a player? Drove me nuts. If there was an inopportune time to take a penalty (and a stupid one at that) he'd find a way. Kind of a Young Guns era Bourque I guess.
