Top 50 Calgary Flames In History - #2

[Wayne Primeau]

READ
Everyone is eligible. No more arbitrary cutoffs. No more ‘Gilmour Rule’. No more Backlund. Everyone happy? OK, let’s go. We start off with a pool of 20, because that makes it so much easier on me. You post who you want to replace Iginla, in this case, for the next 20. Please be happy with this.

Thanks.

RULES
You get one vote.
You may vote for a new player to enter the ballot, but if no one votes, I pick.
No joke-voting.
Atlanta Flames are ineligible, unless, like in the case of Kent Nilsson, they came over to Calgary. You may judge them based on their career with the Calgary Flames franchise.

CURRENT PLAYER POOL

PLEASE NOTE​

Please be serious. I am writing about this, and yes, I’d like the results to matter, so with all seriousness, voting for Dean McAmmond over Al MacInnis just won’t fly. No joke-voting.

I’m looking at you, II.​

I voted Nilsson.

 

[Anglesmith]

Theremin Fleury.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

So when we did Top 50 since ’90 (which didn’t work), Fleury lost to Kipper.

Now Fleury’s beating Kipper.

Fleury's contribution to the Cup in '89 can now be included! Also, there' been what... two votes?

Just Urpo things.

Bring back the scrolling banner!

Now that MacInnis's whole career as a Flame is in play, this has to be him IMO.

Both Chopper & Theo played pretty close to the same # of seasons, and put up the same # of points. One did that from the blueline.

Macinnis is maybe a top 10 Dman to play the game, and was never a side show.

MacInnis, easy.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Kipper

 

[SmellOfVictory]

Crap, I didn't read OP properly before voting. Please move my vote from Fleury to MacInnis.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Please add Kylington to the list!

 

[InfinityIggy]

Makarov!

 

[Skobel24]

Really? Makarov with 6 votes? The whole Backlund thing was funny at first, but c'mon guys.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Arguably one of the most talented players in hockey history. My vote is dead serious.

These are what polls are for. You can vote for whatever. This is a democracy!

We’re counting his production with the Flames here. 292 points in 297 games does not constitute the 2nd-****ing-best player to ever play with the Flames.

Knock the ****. It’s getting old, fast. I’m trying the have a real discussion here and the jokes aren’t helping.

Okay, so if what you're really looking for is people's favourite player out of the two or three guys you deem worthy of votes, why give 20 options?

I stand by what I said. The Flames drafted him in 1983, he was a Flame.

If you don't want opinions, don't ask for them. The childish outbursts don't help your case either.

It’s not that I deem three guys worthy. I’m fine with guys voting for Makarov, if they really mean it.

What doesn’t fly with me is when people see something that I put work towards and make a mockery out of it.

Voting Backlund over Iginla for the sake of voting Backlund isn’t ok.

Voting Makarov over MacInnis for the sake of his international achievements/accomplishments would be ok if those were things that he achieved while he was with the Flames.

I count Iginla’s gold medals in as consideration because those were things he got while he was a Flame.

I don’t count MacInnis’ gold medal in 2002 because he was with the Blues.

Ok, then. Post as you please.

 

[tmurfin]

Theo for me. He was the Flames only bright light for years

 

[InfinityIggy]

How is Makarov not an acceptable choice? One of the very best Russians to come over to the NHL. He was the last flame to win a Calder. His shooting percentage in the same year was only bested by Gretzky.

I have a signed stick from him, he is legitimately one of my favorite Flames ever.

Why is he an option if I am not allowed to vote for him?

Do you hate Russians?

These are the questions. It's not like I picked Rejean Lemelin or something.
