The 04 cup run. I was 6 and just at the age I could understand what was happening. Remember driving down the red mile with my stepdad

Kent Nillson, Fleury, Roberts and many more.

Lanny.
But Flames fans, especially of the online variety, have made me fall out of love with the team, and now I only watch them casually. Thank god they mostly ignore the Wranglers.

Fleury for me, unfortunately I now think he’s an idiot.
But I still have the flames
CaptinDerpI
Most Flames goalies tbh
Kipper was definitely first for me, but a random one that I really liked was Karri Ramo. Liked his playstale, and was really sad he didn’t get re-signed in the 2016 offseason
Mikael Backlund is also up there. That Game 3 OT winner against Anaheim still lives in my head in the « Good Memories »

Definitely Iggy. Just carried himself like a professional but also beat the fuck out of people on the ice. I wish I remembered more specifics from the cup run but I was pretty young. All I remember is the general buzz/ hype at school and around the city

Jarome Iginla.

’04 run and kipper, I grew up watching and loving the team as long as I can remember but I was obsessed with kipper as a kid

Jarome 100%.

Was an Av’s fan before they put Iginla on the cover of NHL02 and have been swimming the C of Red since

My first NHL game was at the Dome against the Kings in the mid 90s. Dad (Leafs fan) wanted me to see Gretzky play. I was a Flames fan for life before the end of the game. Flames won 5-2. (That’s probably why they became my favourite team lol)

Vernon game 7 1st round ’89 heroics. Though most saves (looking back), he was having a pose.

Iginla and Kiprusoff

Was about 15 when I started caring about the nhl
Right when we got Johnny…. He was always the reason I watched

I hated the oilers so much I fell in love with this team

I was 11 when this team won the cup so pretty much anyone from that era, but I would say Loob or Lanny were my favourites.

Gaudreau/Monahan for me, didn’t really watch the flames before I was 14 as I was more interested in playing rather than watching. Actually that entire year showed me how much fun watching an exciting young team could be, and I was hooked.

It was Kiprusoff for me.
