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

[Dion]

My favourites in no particular order....

Neil Sheehy- Only because he knew how to get under Gretzky's skin with his constant yapping. Was very effective in getting Gretz off his game during the playoffs.

Lanny McDonald - The face of the franchise back in the 80's. One of the few Flames who wore his heart on his sleeve. Gave his all for the Flames and them some.

Mikka Kiprusoff - Next to Vernon, the best goaltender to ever wear a Flames jersey.

Tim Hunter - A true enforcer he knew how to stick up for his team mates.

Robyn Regher - He could put the fear of death in a lot of players due to his thundering hits. His favourite target was Ales Hemsky.

Craig Conroy - Mr. Personality who talk a buzzard off a #### wagon. Always a smile on his face.

Al Macinnis - Had a very heavy slap shot that would terrorise opposition goaltenders.

Faves
1. Theo Fleury
2. Lanny McDonald
3. Jarome Iginla
4. Al MacInnis
5. Hakan Loob
6. Mikka Kiprusoff
7. Joey Mullen
8. Phil Housley
9. Pepper
10. Carey Wilson
10. Timmy Hunter

Nieuwy would have been in my top 5 had things ended better. Gilmour same. Man, I loved watching those guys on the ice.

[hjerk]

Top Five (no particular order):
Hakan Loob - Just the best to watch
Joel Otto - Win face-offs, crush people in the corner, amazing grinding C
Kipper - Stopped so many pucks
Lanny McDonald - Favorite growing up, love this guy
Stephane Yelle - Win face-offs, grind with the best of them

Next Five (no particular order):
Nick Fotiou - Threw pucks into stands for kids, loved this guy
Chris Drury - Clutch performer
Val Bure - Carried a lot of dead weight, from behind the net, through the circle and to the slot to score
Martin Gelinas - The Eliminator (It was in™)
Fred Braithwaite - Best goalie outside of Kipper, stopped so many pucks behind a porous D

HM: Travis Hamonic - Great stay at home D, even better person

Worst Ever:
Rob Niedermeyer - Soft on the puck, invisible in most situations...had the talent but lacked any sort of will at all. Could have been so much more but just settled for disappointing Flames fans night in and night out.

Rene Corbet was great, he treated skating more like swimming.

[TheScorpion]

Honestly surprised there haven't been more Nik Hagman picks. Guy drove me nuts, was super disappointing how quickly he dropped off here.

Surprised it took so long to get a Blake Comeau sighting. I didn't hate him but I know a lot of people did. (Edit: seems I must've glazed over the couple on the first page).

Also, hating Hamonic? That's a different pick, for sure.

[djsFlames]

What about Joey MacDonald for the no good lists?

It was popular to hate on Wideman, but the incident aside (where I think he had no awareness of what he was doing), it wasn't his fault that he was played too high on the depth chart when the Flames didn't have better options. He was a huge part of the 2015 season and run, and had some memorable goals like the OT goal in LA when he had already skated to the bench without knowing he ended it. He was a fun personality and at least fit in with the group.

His contract was about a year too long but I hold no ill will for the guy.
