You're missing someone pretty important.

Went Turek.Like Bingo said, we absolutely see some generational gaps in these threads haha. I was born in '92 so didn't see a lot of these guys. Plus had a Turek poster on my wall back in the day

Dude ... we're all going slowly insane housebound in a pandemic. It won't be the end of the world to have a look at all the #2s in team history before selecting MacInnis.

Yup that is solely why I picked him. Takes a pay cut so we can pay Kipper, who was clearly going to be the starter. So awesome.

It's strange that for such a common number, the Flames have never really had a great player wear it.

I remember a certain game where Vernon was backing up Edwards due to injuries to the other goalie whose name escapes me. Edwards got hurt half way through the game and they put in Vernon. My late father took one look at Vernon and said he'll never make at the NHL level. IIRC the bet was $50 and I won

Went Turek.

Honestly didn’t mind Elliott here. He just crumbled beyond belief in the playoffs that heat.

Looks like a child in net without the bulky goalie equipment.

I went Turek - can't say he necessarily lost his starting job due to a performance collapse like Elliot/Hiller - he just got outperformed by one of the best of all time

Riggin and Edwards are before my time

Riggin baby! When I was a kid and playing street hockey, whenever I'd play goal, I was Pat Riggin. My friends at the time (all Habs fans) were like, "who?" =)

based on hair, unofficial nickname, and social media presence, I totally agree!
