I think it's impossible to name just 5 or even 10 favorites, since some people I enjoy for how informative and intelligent they are, and other people for how funny or entertaining they are, and other people because they're just good conversation. That might be 30+ posters.

I think the important thing is, if you don't find yourself included among my favorites in one of these categories, then that's your fault and you need to focus on doing better because it's actually quite embarrassing not to be on the list.

Yeah that was me. Dude sat next to me for an entire years of QC Flames games. Had him over to the house, road tripped to away games. it was crazy. He had moved away and I didn't stay in contact, but would have never expected it got weird like that. I even reached out to his ex and had her give some background for the thread as everyone was doing their digging. He would try and message me every couple years on Facebook, but I have no desire for the drama.

There are so many others who deserve recognition. Top 5 is too short of a list.

To be on your list i'd have to be famous like you and Fuzz or controversial like Sliver or disliked like Lanny. To be frank, I couldn't handle all that fame and people thanking my posts. No sir! fame is not my cup of tea

1.Sureloss
2. AC
3. Gaskal
4. Aeneas
5. Freeway

All top contributors to this site. Even if Aeneas has slipped back into the mist he's one of the best representatives this community ever had.

Sureloss because ....well how TF does he do it?

AC the communities best hype video man. Top notch always. Not a lot of content lately but I'm sure we will see his work soon.

Gaskal with one of the best naturally curated niches here. Can CP even be CP without the ATL anymore? I dare say no.

And freeway. Best reporter on CP. Keep on keeping on.

HMs to all the other posters who have put a ton of time and effort into creating fun content over the years.

Oh, and CBL, you guys won't believe this but we got a good one here, he's gonna be a beast, I guarantee it.

PepsiFree
Roof-Daddy
rubecube
jayswin
Jiri Hrdina

Honourable Mention to ResAlien, they really crack me up.

Pepsi and rubecube are very entertaining to read in the Off Topic section, especially when they're going back and forth with Corsi or Cliff. Very articulate and well thought out, but also realize it's the internet and you can't take everything too seriously.

Roof-Daddy and jayswin I appreciate as fans. They have ups and downs just like the rest of us, but they never seem to lose sight of the fact that this is all meant to be for fun. I find jayswin in particular to be quite candid about their feelings around the Flames and working through them in real time. Reading Roof-Daddy's posts through the latest Gaudreau saga was a great distillation of the thoughts and feelings of Flames fans at that moment in time.

I really appreciate Jiri's take on the current game of hockey. My thoughts on fighting and hitting are very similar to his, but I'd never seen them articulated properly until Jiri. I've quoted some of his arguments verbatim when debating stuff with my "hockey bro" buddies, and I honestly think the game would be way better and more entertaining if more people could see it in a similar way. Also, who can forget the infamous "Jorje" exchange? Classic.

For their obvious huge contributions to the board: sureLoss, Gaskal, AC

For keeping me informed and up to date on the Flames prospects: TheScorpion/Mike

For the math puzzles: psyang

Honorable mention Huntingwhale, for his contributions in the Ukraine thread and keeping us up to date on the situation regarding his wife while she was fleeing the country. Staying connected with us during such a trying time must have been hard.

Honestly a ton of great posters here. Narrowing it down to just five is no easy task.

If these are your influences then we're in big trouble.

Someone help steer this young man to the light!

I will say Jonesy's celebration in 2015 game 6 is one of my all-time favourites. His line celly-hugged like we had just vanquished Sauron and saved the world.

Do it.

I WoS'd the board and have had horrible opinions according to many. I was aggressively bad.

Throw me your bouquets of thistles! I'm ready.
