    Jarome Iginla will not be accepted as an answer for this square as he was already voted as Best Flame

  3. Cupkek

    I mean if not Iginla then it’s gotta be Johnny right?

  4. BlestCreature

    It’s gotta be Fleury. 2nd all time in Goals and Points behind Iggy and has a higher Goals per game

    Kent Nilsson

    *“He’s the purest, most talented player in the league. Great player, great shot”* – **Wayne Gretzky**, March 1987 (“ROUNDUP Oilers Get Nilsson,” The Globe and Mail, 3 Mar 1987).

  6. GoFlamesGo30

    If it can’t be Iggy, then Theo Fleury or Johnny Hockey

    Theo as shity as he is now he was amazing at his peak

  10. saskatchewansealskin

    If Iggy’s off the board and we’re saving Johnny for Best Handles, then I’ll go with Lanny.

  11. PlanningMyDeath

    Theo Fleury because we need Johnny for handles.

  13. scorpionspalfrank

    This is hard. In the end, I guess it would be Fleury, with Iginla, Nilsson, and Gilmour all right there. Honourable mention to Lanny McDonald for best forward with an amazing ‘stache.

  15. beigeicide

    Kent Nilsson was the most talented forward in Flames history, without a doubt

  24. Beneficial_North9693

    I’m saying Lanny MacDonald the guy who scored 66 goals, and won us the cup

  25. wahlberger

    I can’t believe Lucic isn’t the slowest flame of all time

  28. snowboard506

    Has to be Lanny, he needs to be on this list

  32. UnusedZero

    Noticed the correction of Kiprusoff 👍🏻

    Theo Fleury or Joe Nieuwndyk. Leaning towards Nieuwndyk here because its Best Forward – not Best Point Getter that wasn’t your Best Player. Honestly Fleury IMO is best shot…

    Fleury played for the Flames from 1988 to 1999 and was known for his dynamic and energetic style of play despite his smaller stature. Political BS and Hot Takes aside – this is a square for BEST FORWARD – not BEST FORWARD-THINKER.

    The man had Scoring Prowess. Fleury ranks second in all-time scoring for the Flames, with 830 points in 791 games. His scoring ability was a crucial component of the Flames’ offense during his tenure.

    He was small, but he was versatile. Fleury was not only a scorer but also a playmaker, amassing 460 assists during his time with the Flames. His ability to both score and set up plays made him a multifaceted threat on the ice. Lets not forget that he was a shit disturber as well getting those pucks from down low in the corner or scrapping infront of the net.

    He had impactful Performances. Fleury was a part of the Flames’ 1989 Stanley Cup-winning team during his rookie season. His performance in the playoffs was significant, contributing **11 points in 22 games as a rookie**.

    During his time in Calgary especially – he had unmatched resilience and grit. His give a shit meter was always off the charts and was known for his fierce competitiveness, Fleury was also able to inspire his teammates and fans alike. Despite facing larger opponents and overcoming personal challenges, his determination and heart were always on display.

    I really wish my last point here didn’t come at the cost it seems to have with some of his takes these days, but I think that’s a fair summary of his time here.

    For Joe Nieuwendyk’s – a legend and hall of famer, contributions to the Flames as a offense is a little less impressive with the numbers, but he was more involved and impactful in helping other players get out of ruts and get right mentally off-ice so they could perform on the ice. Both Gary Roberts and (50 goal scorer) Hakan Loob specifically noted they wouldn’t have been nearly as successful without his accommodating style of play and guidance off the ice. I don’t think Fleury has ever had team mates (outside the Olympic team he was a part of) ever be that complimentary.

    Joe had scoring efficiency like Fleury. He amassed 314 goals for the Flames over 577 games, showcasing his efficiency and consistency as a forward.

    Joe was an Award Winner. He won the Calder in 1988 after scoring an impressive 51 goals in his debut season, marking him as a significant talent from the start.

    Like Fleury, Joe had a significant contribution to the Stanley Cup run. Nieuwendyk played a crucial role in the Flames’ 1989 Stanley Cup victory. Stats aren’t around from the era – but JOE WAS A CENTRE AND A BEAST AT FACEOFFs. Fleury to my knowledge was never a centre – so by default I give more weighting to Joe for having the harder offensive role while still being exceptional.

    Another factor beyond points is leadership. Before being traded, Nieuwendyk served as team captain, demonstrating leadership both on and off the ice. While Fleury held this title as well – it was only for two seasons and was given to TODD FREAKING SIMPSON at the end of the 97 season – two years before Fleury was traded away. I’m too young to know why – but from what I’ve gathered it was because Fleury would be an A-hole to refs and so went back to just having an A. Not a big deal – but still more weight to Joe as he took over being captain after Lanny retired (imaging filling those boots!) until to 1995.

    Thoughts welcome. Just my view.

    Gotta be Lanny with what categories are left

  38. fknSamsquamptch

    Did you just re-fuck MacInnis’ spelling after fixing Kipper?

  39. Huggabear37

    Gary Roberts was my favorite when I was a kid. Just a beast of a player with no quit.
