Sans surprise, Jarome Iginla a été élu meilleur Flame de tous les temps. Maintenant, qui est le PIRE Flame de tous les temps (il faut choisir quelqu’un qui était un joueur de tous les jours) ? Pas de répétition, le commentaire avec le plus de votes gagne.

Who is James Neal. Could I get scrubs for 800, Alex?
James Neal.
James Neal
Ales Kotalik
Chris Butler. Still holds the Flames record for worst plus/minus in a game with a minus 7. He was bruuuuutal!
James Neal was horrible but have people already forgotten Anders Eriksson? Still remember him single handedly blowing up our playoff hopes
Roman Turek
# 1st line Center David Moss
James Neal is up there. The Troy Brower experience wasn’t great I can recall as well in recent memory
If we’re going with hockey skills, it has to be Rocky Thompson
At this point it should very obviously be Dylan dube. He’s the worst kinda player from where I stand.
Anders Eriksson
Shoutout to Nicklas Grossman who was so bad he only made it 3 games as a Flame after he signed before the coaching staff realized they were better off playing literally anyone else.
We all forgetting on how Dennis Wideman cursed us after… the incident?
Troy Brouwer
Hockey skill wise or just being hated? James Neal is too ez
Anders Ericsson. So bad he cost us two playoff series and didn’t even play the majority of the second season in Calgary.
Troy Brouwer, 150GP, 19G-28A-47P
Gary Leeman. Traded for Doug Gilmour as part of the worst trade in hockey history, put up 11 goals in two seasons in which he only played 29 and 30 games respectively, then traded to the Habs for Brian Skrudland (who gave us 16 games, and 2 goals). Gilmour played six productive years with the Leafs, then kept going with the Devils, Blackhawks, Sabres and Habs.
James Neal
Dube. Fuck that guy. (blur his face out if he’s declared the worst)
Recency bias for sure, but since I started watching the Flames in 2002, James Neal has stood out to me as the absolute worst player who had a top 9 role on this team. His skating was shit, he gave pretty much no effort on the ice cause he was just cashing in a paycheque, and he bitched and moaned about not getting more ice time despite his shit play not justifying any kind of upgrade.
Sure, guys like David Moss, Ales Kotalik, Chris Butler etc… were worse quality players, but Neal made me angry watching the Flames play for his one-season stint on the team more so than any other Flame.
Dishonorable mention to Niklas Grossman, The Garbageman, who single-handedly cost us games with his horrible play as a D-man. He played less than 5 games on the team, but they sure were impactful (derogatory).
Dube and it’s not even close.
A waste of our pick
An embarrassment to our sport
A tarnish on our country
A reminder that our sport needs to focus on developing better people
The rest of the guys mentioned had bad playoff runs, or were brought on past their primes, small potatoes imo.
Gary Leeman
Troy Brower was so awful in Calgary. But he spent a good chunk of this time on the 4th line iirc
James not the real deal Neal
Assuming this is on ice:
James Neal
Ales Kotalik
Troy Brouwer
Brandon Bollig
Off ice it has to be Dube
Dave Roche. Saw him play live when the Flames visited Buffalo and he was just awful.
But I also upvoted the Neal, Brouwer picks.
Dennis Wideman.
Blake Comeau
Not a player but Craig Button cursed this franchise for a decade
Gary Leeman
Jason Weimer. Selected 8th overall. Put up 200 points in 700 games, but 60 of the points were for Calgary. Played for the Flames for 2 tours of duty. The « gritty two-way forward with some upside » trope that dominated Flames scouting decisions from 1990 to 2010 and had them playing terrible hockey.
Grossman was atrocious lol literally nicknamed garbage man
James Neal
FREDDIE HAMILTON
Maybe not the worst, but I really disliked Todd Bertuzzi and was pissed when the flames signed him.
I was gonna say Rico Fata. But he was never an everyday player… by god he will be on this list somewhere.
Does Jay Feaster count?
Dennis Wideman, since James Neal and Hubey are low hanging fruit. The man was brutal, and the Flames were public enemy #1 to refs after his goonery
Nicklas Grossmann
It *has* to be James Neal. I’ve been watching this team for almost 3 decades, no other player was paid the way he was and given a high end role only to absolutely dog it from the moment he stepped onto the ice in a Flames jersey. Watching him play made me irrationally angry. Then he bitched about being demoted for being shit and giving zero effort. Started drama in the room. Fought with his teammates.
A shit player and a shit dude got off with millions of dollars from us. Fuck James Neal. His face is the visual representation of « bum » in the dictionary.
I don’t even remember buddies name, the big dude with the beard, right handed defencemen, kind of known for being an enforcer. I believe he was captain for VGK when he was there for a year. Engelland? He was really bad for us the first half of his tenure, but his second half wasnt too bad being paired with TJ brodie on the top pairing… He was bad, but I remember people in here defending him. He had no place playing top line minutes with Brodie lmao
Leeman, Kotalik, Neal, Clarke Wilm, Paul Kruse…I mean there’s been some bums. I would punch Gary Leeman in the face if I had a chance.
You can tell most ppl in this thread are young. Tent Yawney off the top of my head.
James Neal-Dustin Boyd-Tory Brouwer
Anders Eriksson-Chris Butler
Leland Irving
I feel like that’s a pretty good bad starting line-up
Has to be Dube. Just embarrassing and sad.
